Spring Classic Sportive
The Spring Classic - the perfect way to get some miles into the legs and a chance to test out your early season fitness.
This event has sold out in the previous FIVE years so please don't leave it too late to book up. We are limited to 600 riders.
There is a new format to the Spring Classic Sportive. We are now doing three options along with the family route. Option one is a 44km (27 miles) route, option two is a 92km (57miles) route and option 3 is 110km (68 miles)
The Feed-Zone. will again be based at the event centre. You can choose to shorten your ride on the day at any point when returning to the event centre/ feed zone.
There will now be 2 distances around the lovely mid-Norfolk countryside.
We believe it is even better than last years! The routes has been chosen to be free flowing and take in some beautiful countryside around the village of Swanton Morley. There is even a surprise on the 2nd loop with 2 miles to go. (you have been warned).. If 57km (28 miles) is too far we have our shorter 10 mile route. This has been designed to be family friendly on quieter roads.
