Welcome to the Winter Mini-Sportive Series
JANUARY EVENT UPDATE
Due to the adverse weather conditions and the dangerous riding conditions, the January Mini-Sportive has been postponed for 7 days and will now take place on Sunday 27th January 2013. We appreciate your continued support and apologies for having to postpone this event - but it is too dangerous for the event to go ahead on it's original date.
Winter is here - and we all know that as the weather gets worse it gets harder and harder to get yourself out for those all important winter miles. So we've put together a series of six 'mini-Sportives' to take us through the winter - with one event a month taking place in October, November, December, January, February and March.
The format is designed to be simple, and cheap!! There will be no electronic timing or feed stations, and the routes won't be the gut busting ones you'd expect in the height of summer - but other than that, they'll be everything else you expect from a sportive. With a well marked route, mechanical back-up, free energy products for each rider and much more.
And when you get back from each ride, there will be hot drinks and food waiting for you. Each event will be limited to 125 riders, and will cost just £7.00 to enter.
The events will all be based from Performance Cycles HQ here in Poulton (Gloucestershire) - with ride distances being between 45 and 65 miles (two route options on each event). The ideal way to make sure you continue to get those big rides in at least once a month.
The events will be very relaxed, starting at 9am (with registration from 8.30am) with the aim of getting you all back by just after lunch / early afternoon. The perfect way to clock up those much needed winter miles.
Events will take place on the following days...
Sunday 28th October 2012
Sunday 25th November 2012
Sunday 16th December 2012
Sunday 20th January 2013
Sunday 17th February 2013
Sunday 17th March 2013
Event details are as follows:
HQ: Performance Cycles, Unit One Butts Courtyard, Poulton GL7 5HY (please note, if you are using SatNav to find us TomTom units will often send you into Cirencester, not out to Poulton!!). There is plenty of free parking at the HQ.
Registration:
Registration opens at 8.30am on the morning of the event - where you'll be given details for the days ride.
Event Info:
The route will be fully signed with a support vehicle out should you need a hand. As the routes are only 45 and 65 miles there will be no feed stations - but there are plenty of places on the route for you to stop if needed. Please note that we cannot send out .gpx / sat nav files in advance of the event - as we may have to make last minute (major!!) changes to the route due to weather and road conditions.
When you get back from the ride there will be hot drinks and cake waiting for you.
