Sunrise & Snowdrop Express

The Sunrise and Snowdrop Expresses are an institution on the winter cycling calendar. For some riders our event provides a wonderful opportunity to enjoy rural Worcestershire on a crisp winter day. For others it provides the perfect motivation to get out with friends when they might otherwise be tempted to stay indoors. In recent years we have also been delighted to welcome several local racing men and women who used it for steady winter training.

The two 120km events follow the same routes but in opposite directions. The routes follow quiet country roads with only a few short bits on main roads. February can of course be quite cold, so we have the option of gritted alternative if road conditions are poor, assuming that the dear old County Council has sent out its gritters the night before.
