RICHARDSONS RUMBLE COME AND TRY SPORTIVE.
Sunday 14th April 2019 - NEW ROUTE | 67Mile | 38Mile
Start/Finish: St Ives, Cambridgeshire
This event is the season opener for many riders and gives everyone the opportunity to get that magic 100 in without the pressure of a Classic Sportive.
The route winds in way around four counties starting and finishing in St Ives, Cambridgeshire, on quiet roads without the mammoth climbs of other events.
