The Paul Kirk North Lincs CycloSportive

The 5th year of this popular early season event has had to be strictly limited to 500 places maximum so that we can maintain the friendly feel of the event, so get your entry in quick! Both the short course (100km) and the long course (100mile) share the first 47 miles at which point you can decide on the day which way you go! The course is perfect for both novice riders doing their first event and experienced riders looking for a challenge as they hit the Lincolnshire Wolds for a roller coaster ride for the final 53 miles whilst the 100km route finishes as it started in gentle rolling countryside. The new venue for 2015 provides riders with ample parking, shower, changing facilities as well as a bar at the finish! At a charge of £16+ a small site admin fee, this event is a bargain. We provide plenty of homemade cake and sports drinks at each feed station, you won't struggle to follow the route as we put out over 300 signs on the courses, making it one of the best signed courses on the circuit. We will make sure you have a great day out! .

No profit is made from this event, costs are covered, all marshalling, admin and signage is done on a voluntary basis so that majority of the entry fee goes to local charities, this year the funds will be split between Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire Air Ambulance (in memory of Christian Brown) and the Lindsey Lodge Hospice in Scunthorpe (in memory of Paul Kirk).

We provide a fully route marked course of either 100km or 100 miles with feed stations along the way. Timing for each individual will be provided in a  couple of days of event completion. The route will be marshalled where appropriate and sag wagon will sweep the course towards the end of the event.

The event will start at 8am on the 19th April 2015, although registation will be open from 6.30am at the Ancholme Leisure Centre in Brigg. Riders will be started at 3 minute intervals in batches of 20 riders at a time. All riders must of started the ride by 10.30am. This event is by no means a race just a fun way to see the North Lincolnshire Countryside. All riders wishing to do the 100 mile course must reach the cut off point by 1.30pm strict, after this time the route will be closed and all riders directed towards the shorter 100km route.

All riders welcome. Please support our event, as we are supporting local charities and making no profit. Any questions please email Matt - matthew_john_porter@yahoo.co.uk
