The Cycle Southampton Sporterium returns for 2023 to get people on their bikes!

The Sporterium offers a choice of two distances, the 60km sportive and a 100km criterium (which, despite the name, is also a sportive rather than a crit race). 

Both rides will start in Southampton Guildhall Square in waves of 125 heading out into the Hampshire Countryside with the short (~60km) and a standard (~100km) routes that head east out of the city then north towards Winchester before coming back to Southampton through Romsey.

The routes will be on open roads with friendly marshals and plenty of feed stations to keep you going on the course. This event is perfect for both first timers and experianced riders looking for a relaxing day with friends on their bikes.
