A sportive, is a short to long distance, organised, mass-participation cycling event, typically held annually. Many cyclists use sportives to challenge themselves in a personal battle against the distance and then ultimately, the clock. Sportives are something like cycling’s answer to the marathon. Long distance, sometimes epic mass participation challenges, open to all comers, sportives are the event of choice for a new generation of road rider. Sportives are performance rides that allow you to focus on your own goals, whether that be achieving a personal best time target or simply getting across that finish line! Our event offers a choice of 3 different distances, so you can get involved whatever your level. Sportives appeal to riders of any experience or fitness level. Some riders will be looking for an element of competition, perhaps by signing up with a bunch of mates for a burn up, or trying to be in the first or fastest group to finish. Others, who might find road racing a little strenuous or elitist, can ride at a steadier pace and still enjoy the benefits of a ride with marked directions, feed stops and mechanical support. - Free Food at the Finish. - Feed Stations on the routes 2 & 3 - Mechanical and Medical support. - Chip Timing start and finish - Bespoke Finishers Medal
