Spring Classic Sportive

The Spring Classic Sportive

The Spring Classic is part of our No Frills Series which is a low cost event to get you out on the bike ready for the Summer Sportives or in shape for your big challenge.

All new for 2018 is the introduction of 5 and 10 mile routes which are designed to be interesting, rewarding, low on traffic and the perfect way to either get in to cycling or for families.

The 25  mile routes are designed as a figure of 8. Loops of 25 miles in two directions, using the Start / Finish as the Feed-Zone. Choose from 25 / 50 / 75 or 100 miles.

The route has been chosen to be free flowing and take in some beautiful countryside around the village of Swanton Morley. There is even a surprise on the the 2nd loop with 2 miles to go...

The Spring Classic loops will head East and West from the event centre. The autumn classic goes North and South,

What you get:

Full route signing, finishers medal, small feed-zone with water, energy drink, bananas, sweets and biscuits. Mechanical support.

Optional extras:

• Car-parking at the event centre will cost £2.00 per car on the gate.

• Swanton Morley Village Hall will be opening the bar from 12pm providing post ride refreshments

Reviews from 2017:

1. "Brilliant event at Swanton Morley today: would never have known it was your first one, it went that smoothly. But...that hill at mile 49, what was that about?! :) Great bling and the cakes were to die for! Will be back for the next instalment..."
2.  really enjoyed the Spring Classic ride. A very nice route through some beautiful countryside, clearly signed. The organisation seemed great - no queues (despite the sell-out) and everything went very smoothly. A good atmosphere and a lot of fun - looking forward to doing some more.
3. Great event. Very well organised from the ample parking to the fab medal. Friendly welcome and encouragement from the organisers. The 25 mile loops are a really good format for the less confident rider that wants to push themselves without finding themselves stuck 50 miles from their car. The refreshments in the hall were spot on and the open access to sweets was brilliant. Cycles U.K. were, as ever, helpful and accommodating of the incompetent (me). All round top job - thoroughly recommended and we will be back! Thank you.
