Of course you should head to Guisborough for the start, it’s a great chance to soak up the atmosphere and get within touching distance of the riders. Last year Westgate was rammed so get there early to grab a good spot! Once the race departs you’ve got time to get to Saltburn bank to enjoy riders taking on the 25% gradient and switch backs. There’s a good chance to witness early attacks here as riders go for the long effort! We’d then head out to East Cleveland and get positioned on one of the climbs. Loftus bank or Lotus into Liverton Mines are good ones. There is time to watch the race climb into Liverton Mines and if you’re quick get back into Loftus and watch the riders speed down the High Street back towards Saltburn! Then, head back into Guisborough to catch the end of the Youth Racing and the grand finale of the Elite Grand Prix. Of course many of you will enjoy the event from your Villages and even from your doorsteps. This is what the E.C. Klondike is all about, bringing the best bike racing to the area and pulling the communities together.
