Three stunning routes all leave Thirsk and head straight out onto quiet country lanes, with small villages and some beautiful North Yorkshire scenery. The routes are not super challenging, but as always we've found some really interesting roads around Farndale, famous for its daffodils, and there will be roads not even the most regular rider know well. The long route offers the most serious challenge, and Blakey Bank will not disappoint those looking for a test!

The heritage of the humble saddle is strong around the Newmarket area albeit with a different type of riding as this sportive leads out from The Adnams July Course of Newmarket Racecourses. Much like a horse racing course, the route is filled with flat and consistent terrain, leaving no excuse for stragglers to be behind by the first hurdle.

Come and join the former Welsh Rugby Union Legend and now 2 time Ironman Wales finisher Shane Williams MBE on his ride to raise awareness and funds for the Velindre Cancer Charity.

The rides follow a loop within the county boundaries of Essex, taking in some lovely towns and villages along the way.

Sportive HQs cycling events are becoming legendary, riders that know our events understand why they sell out so quick, dont miss out on the latest instalment, the King Edward 100!

With fantastic HQ location less than 5 minutes from the A1 its easy to get to from many directions!

Having some of the quietest roads we have ever seen, we wanted to share with you some fantastic riding along these lanes around North Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire. A few hills early on in the ride followed by some long straight flats into some of the most scenic villages Ancaster, Folkingham and Heckington to name but a few. On the longer routes you dont have to confirm your distance until after the feed station, so see how you feel on the day, no pressure.

All of the Cycling routes begin and finish at Harper Adams University near Newport, Shropshire. It is a wonderful venue with excellent facilities and plenty of parking in a safe secure location allowing you to ride with peace of mind.

All the routes head South, out of the University campus, passing through the quiet villages of Edgmond, riding past the beautiful St Peters Church, and forward through wonderful open countryside towards the first short sharp testing climb of the day, just outside of Lilleshall, and then onwards to climb the highest point on the Bronze route, just before Sheriffhales. From there the route continues down country lanes passing through farmland near to the Morrey Meadows National Nature Reserve towards Wheaton Aston then on towards Penkridge for the first feed station of the day. After refreshment the Gold and Silver routes continue East whilst those riding the Bronze route head North and begin their trip back to the University but do not fear for you will take a different return route to the one you came on! Passing through more charming villages, along country lanes and interesting places, such as the delightful Norbury Junction canal basin, before arriving at the finish line after riding a Bostin Chase 70K/40 miles Bronze route.
