A relaxed yet stunning tour around the Somerset levels, this fun ride is about taking your time, enjoying the views and just getting in some early season miles.
Returning in 2019 and strictly limited to 500 riders come join us for a smile that will last for weeks, we sell out every year and the event is building to be a great addition to our sportive portfolio.
Short
The Short is an ideal opportunity if you are new to Sportive riding or you just want a nice easy ride, great for a family ride, we are happy for children 14 and Under to attend for FREE, as long as they are accompanied with an paying adult (One adult/one child per entry).
Medium
This medium route for 40 miles is a nice flat affair other than 3 very small climbs (Really they are small), so it could be a quick pace but the ride is more about adding another dimension to your training, its not necessarily about speed ,its about putting those longer miles into the legs.
There are a few tests towards the end of the ride in the shape of some nice climbs that will need some effort.
Long
The long route isn't a leg burner, but it will include the iconic climb through Cheddar Gorge, being an early season sportive, its more about testing where you are after your winter training, but it would be wrong not to include the climb, the cut of times are there for the safety of both the riders and the sanity off the staff.
Be under no illusion the long route will still test you, its long with an iconic climb and the last 20 miles include a few more climbs just in case you haven't worked hard enough.With 3 Aid stations for the long and 2 for the medium, we will refuel you, all you need do is enjoy the day.

One more sleep.
Until they can replace it with something with a bold and exciting new design that's much less usable?
I have the Unior sprocket wear indicator tool, around £20 I think, and it takes a bit of the guesswork out of whether to change a cassette or not....
Never got my money back from Birmingham, I'd better get this lot back. No idea what to do for next summer. Closed roads seem to be a luxury that...

Looks like we left behind 'the attitude of the UK police towards cyclists' when the Republic gained its independence!
Oh look! A spesh' SL6
