The Buxton Mountain Course
Course Details; Each of three 11 mile laps features a steep 4.6 mile ascent climbing 190m from Longnor to Flash, a fast rolling section along the A53 to Royal Cottage, a sharp left-hand turn and then a fast descent with a few uphill kicks returning to Longnor. Riders start a short distance up the road from Longnor Primary School (HQ), and finish at the end of the third lap as the course enters Longnor just before the 30mph limit signs. Please do not park on the course. First rider off 11.04am. Low gears are highly recommended! Course Record: Stuart Dangerfield (Camel Valley C&TC) 01:22:13 on 16/08/03 |
The 'Buxton Mountain' is an early season open time trial over a very hilly circuit in the Peak District covering a total of 33 miles (seniors). The event traditionally takes place on Good Friday, and this year is held on the 25th March. The current course has been used since 2002, as the old course (featuring the climb of Axe Edge) has traffic lights now preventing riders going through Glutton Bridge. In 2003, the event became a counting round of the Rudy Project National Time Trial Series and enjoyed the participation of many of the countries top riders. Each year, the 'Buxton Mountain' continues to be supported by a large field of riders and has generous backing from local sponsors.
