Cambridge Road Cycling Events

Join us for our penultimate event of 2018 and clock up some winter miles before we head into the festive period.

Starting from High Lodge in the heart of Thetford Forest we head south through Elvedon and skirt around RAF Honington, before heading back to base past Thetfords Devils Mere. Its a relatively flat course that features a few undulations along the way but no significant climbs so a great opportunity to work on your winter base fitness, end the year on a high and set you up nicely for the year ahead.

As with all RIDE IT events, there will be varying distances to choose from, as well as hot food and drink to warm you up when you return

Sportive Cross is our mixed terrain event series thats designed with cyclocross and adventure road bikes in mind. Theyre an ideal way to add some extra interest to your riding especially over the winter months not only helping to keep you fit but also great for testing your bike handling skills. You can expect roughly a 50:50 mix of road and off road sections on the local bridleway or byways and with this ride weve pretty much managed to tick the full list of terrains featuring everything from smooth tarmac to gravel, grass, sand and mud sections.

Starting from High Lodge in the heart of Thetford Forest the route initially joins our road sportive before splitting off through Wangford and Lakenheath Warren to pick up our first of several sections on the Icknield Way. The route continues south onto out first feed stop near West Stow Country Park before we start to wind our way back to the finish, first skirting the edge of The Kings Forest then another section of the Ickneild Way bringing us to our second and final feed stop near Knettishall Heath Country Park. From here youve got another couple of off road sections, the longest through Croxton Heath, before joining the riders on our road sportive routes for a final blast along the roads back to the finish.

The Flat 100 South is the latest instalment from Sportive HQ after the fantastic success of The Flat 100 (formerly Flat n Fast).

Riders love the opportunity of riding a flat sportive without the hindrance of hills getting in the way. With our usual style of all bikes allowed, including TT Bikes (as long as you follow our strict usage policy), its a great training ground for anyone attempting an Ironman triathlon this year.

If you are new to cycling, dont let that put you off though as the Time Trial bikes are set off first so they are out of the way of the rest of you and you can enjoy a leisurely ride with great feed stops along the way. Who knows you might achieve your furthest distance ride or your best time on a 100 mile or 100km distance without any hills to slow you down.

The short 21 mile route is fully marked but is still a guided ride for your peace of mind, let our experienced riders look after you whilst you enjoy the ride, there isnt a food stop on the ride itself but food is included at the finish line for the short route riders instead.
