Looking for a late-season sportive to round off the year of Covid?
Entries are still open for two long-running UK sportives: the Tour of Worcester (Sunday 25th October) and the Essex Season Ender (15th November).
Both events are fully Covid-compliant, that means no entries on the day - so don't miss a chance to finish the season with a great ride.
Tour of Worcester
This Sunday sees the 12th edition of the Tour of Worcester by Wheels in Wheels. Entries close midnight tomorrow (Friday 23 October) with a limited number of places still available.
Starting at Worcester Racecourse, the route follows much of the route of a former Tour of Britain stage, with some testing climbs along the way.
GPX files are available to download at the event website, while riders will be issued with top-tube stickers for their bikes on the day marking the major climbs.
Choose from the Gallop route (113km / 71 miles with 5339ft climbing) or the shorter Canter (86km / 53 miles with 3196ft climbing).
Entries start at £25 for the short route and £30 for the Gallop.
