100 Mile Sportives

Each year we organise a number of annual 100 mile sportives with a timed start and finish so riders can test their best time.  Our regular 100 mile rides are held in Manchester, Cambridge, Norwich and Wiltshire and we also offer others on occasion - in 2013 we also have an Oxford 100 and Leeds 100.

      

100 milers are ideal for those who regularly cycle long distances and consider themselves to be fit and healthy enough to take on these testing challenges.  All our rides are fully supported by medical and mechanical staff as well as pick-up teams in case you need to retire for any reason.  They are also fully signed and marshalled so you can just get on and do it without stressing about following directions.

What the riders say:

Norwich 100

"Looking forward to it, my 3rd time if you haven't been on it before it's a lovely ride and the big surprise for all those who don't know the area are the hills !" M.N.

"Looking forward to doing it again. Did the 100 last year, doing the 50 with my youngest lad on Sunday, it's going to be brilliant!!!" S.N.
