The Fred Whitton cycling sportive is a 100+ mile event around the lake district which finishes going up and over Hard Knot.
Only for the mentally insane. I know someone who's done it a few times, once in lashing wind and rain. He is mentally insane.

Sorry for being pedantic like (obviously I'm not actually sorry) but there's only one road from which you can access the village, which leaves the village in two directions
