Wrynose or Bust 2016

Wrynose or Bust 2016
OUR NEW START AND FINISH on the River Lune cycle track (south) is adjacent to The Holiday Inn, (M6 Jct
34, 700m on the A683 towards Lancaster). This is opposite our new HQ, Registration Office and car park at the
3-1-5 Health and Fitness Club, Mannin Way, Caton Road, Lancaster LA1 3PE.
All riders must report to the Registration Office (HQ) and all cars must park at the 3-1-5 Health and Fitness Club
car park (do not park at The Holiday Inn as you may be clamped).
ROUTE CHANGES FOR 2016:
Avoiding the A590 we are using the cycle track from Levens village to The Derby Arms, Town End, Witherslack
(Sustran 70, Old Road), and the same in reverse for the return leg.
And on the return route, in order to avoid the A6 from Levens to Heversham we follow Sustran route 70 from
Levens to Sizergh and on to Sedgwick before continuing to Woodhouse Lane (where all three sportive routes
merge) and on to Ackenthwaite (Sustran 6).
The building of the M6 Jct 34 Heysham link road may require some last minute adjustments, if this proves to be
the case, we will keep you fully informed before the event.
