Entries are now open for the Cotswold Spring Classic Sportive 2017. Based in Cirencester, the Classic takes place on Easter Monday with a choice of three distances to suit your early season appetite - the long route, at 164km and 2859m of climbing, packs quite a punch!
Each route will be comprehensively signed, with well stocked feed stations out on the route (one for the 55km and 100km routes and two for the 160km route), motorcycle outrider support, medical cover from the Wilts Ambulance Service and mechanical support from Performance Cycles (at the start, each feed station and also in a support car out on the road).
Once back from the ride, riders can expect a finishers medal, a goodie bag (complete with the all-important Easter Egg!), hot food and shower/changing facilities. Add to this the ample free parking, electronic timing and sign-on goodies, and at just £28.00 per rider it stacks up to a great value day in the saddle!
Easter Monday might sound like an age away - but getting an event in the diary now will help to keep the mind focused throughout the winter months to come.
Organisers Velo Events have also unveiled a new partnership with the charity Against Breast Cancer for their Spring and Autumn Classic sportives.
The event has been renamed to reflect the partnership, giving it its full title of the "Cotswold Spring Classic, supporting Against Breast Cancer". Velo Events say they'll be working with the charity to bring you an even better experience than ever before as well as raise money and awareness.
