Event Information

SOLD OUT! To kick off your Sportive season UK Cycling Events are offering something truly special, a new concept in sportive riding… ! A completely Free of Charge Sportive! Yes… that’s not a typo it is Free! Read more

Last years event attracted over 1200 riders and sold out within weeks of going on sale.

OK… you are thinking…what’s the catch??? Simple… if you turn up, and ride we will refund your £25… If you do not ride we will give your entry fee to Charity.

Basically, if you do book a space and ride, everything is free and you will get a load of goodies as well! If you don’t turn up … No Excuses…your Entry fee will help support our Charity for 2012.

Not only will you get a stunning course which takes in the best and quietest roads in the 3 counties of Cambridge, Bedford, and Northamptonshire. You will get, well stocked feed stations, disposable chip timing, mechanical support, Free tea and coffee, Free copy of Cycling Active, massages, Bike Wash, finishers medal and most importantly a well marked course!

In addition to the Epic 80 mile route, there is a Standard 45 mile route, allowing riders to choose their own challenge.

As we have designed this sportive to encourage riders to ‘Get out and Ride’ and the Sportive is strictly limited to 1200 spaces. If you book a free space and don’t ride you will get charged £25, it does not matter if your car has broken down or your dog has eaten your cycling shoes…whatever the Excuse, we do not want to hear it ☺

With suitable ride lengths and terrain for the beginning of the season and everything completely Free…there has never been a better time to ‘Get Out and Ride’.

Note – Riders are urged to book early to avoid disappointment. There will be no on the day entries and the event is likely to sell out fast, as it is free.

Key Information

Kids ride Free!

We want to encourage young riders to enjoy the pleasure of cycling. That's why all riders under 16 years ride for free when accompanied by a paying adult!

Online pre-entry

Online pre-entry is the easiest way of entering and saves £3.00 per person vs. entering on the day. Online pre-entry will save you time on the day of the event allowing you to simple pick up your registration pack from the 'Pre entered collection point' and avoid having to queue up. Please note: if a event reaches its capacity we will have to close the event to rider wanting to enter on the day. It is therefore, best to pre enter online to avoid disappointment!

On the day entry

On the day entries are available at all our events as long as the event has not sold out prior to the event day. On the day entries are subject to an additional £3.00 per person surcharge. Payment can be made with cash and cheque. You can fill out an entry form when you arrive at the event. One entry form must be completed per person. Wiggle Customers will not be able to receive any loyalty discounts on the day.

Awards

Although all our rides are non competitive events (i.e. not races), most people still like to know how well they've done. With this in mind we will time each participants ride. When you complete your ride your time will be calculated and these timings, along with the timing Award you achieved, will be displayed on the Website. Each rider will receive a timing award of either; bronze, silver or gold, depending on your average speed. Of course, some riders aren't bothered about all these awards and just cycle for the experience and stunning scenery.

Event photography

www.sportivephoto.com will be taking pictures of all riders at this event. Please visit www.sportivephoto.com once you have taken part in the event to view your photos!

    "UK Cycling Events and Wiggle Super Series ALWAYS put on a good show. I would say they are the John Lewis of Cyclosportives. Quality, inclusive, exceptionally well considered and organised and where the sun nearly always seems to shine" - Mark Tearle (Cyclosport.org)

    "Fantastic day, friendly and helpful marshals, well organised. A very big thank you to all."

    "Everything about this event was well organised. I was very impressed with the friendliness and helpfulness of all concerned. Even when I was repairing a puncture in the middle of Ashdown Forest the mechanic turned up with his pump. This was service above and beyond the call of duty!" - nxgriff

    "We had yet another fantastic ride yesterday. Big thanks to all your team, the organisation and assistance were as flawless as ever. Please don't change anything on these rides because they are the perfect format. The only thing wrong is that there are not more of them."

    "Congratulations. A superb event. Everyone I spoke to really enjoyed the day. You even organised the weather as well. The sportive bar had been raised a notch this year by every event I have attended. However, you guys have gone other notch higher" - Cyclosport.org

    "...What a great event it was. Really good signing, with repeat arrows after each junction that gave additional confidence ....well done. Good organisation and facilities - great weather as well...hope you can organise that next time!"

    "This was my first sportive (in fact first road event really) and just wanted to say it was excellent - I had a great time!"

    "I thought it was really well organised, well run and I look forward to entering as many of these as I can in the future. Great work!"
