Stage Two will see the Tour of Britain return to Cumbria once again on Monday 5 September of the tour.
From Carlisle the riders will immediately head south to Penrith before
turning west and tackling the hills of the Lake District, including
Whinlatter Pass. The sternest of these tests is likely to come in
Ambleside as the peloton take on the climb notoriously known as 'The
Struggle' to cap a stage with 3,779m of climbing. The subsequent descent
will take them down to Windermere before the run in to the finish at
Kendal, with the 200m, 11% average climb of Beast Banks awaiting riders
in the finale.
