    This route is aimed at being the hilliest scenic route under 41miles, using the Sandstone ridge of course. The direction has been determined by the infamous “chapel Hill”, being so steap (1.4k) so I wanted that early in the ride, it is shortly followed by what I call the Roman hill ( Yeld lane), so I have effectively created the toughest, longest climb in the region. And what with the succession of short stiff hills all the way to Helsby, it is a tough ride.
    There is Rose farm cafe at 30 miles, which is really needed to be fair. The last 15 miles is effectively down hill.
    The route also considers the quality of the lanes as well, which is why the start goes via Walk mill cafe & Duddon, as those lanes are virtually pothole free.
    I have longer tougher version of this route as well at 47 miles a s 950 mtrs.

    About the Calorie Calculator

    Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

    When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

    Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
