Some 2011 sportive dates released...

Morning all,

Just had some info from Kilotogo... 2011 dates are on the Blog

Kilotogo releases 2011 sportive dates

The Kilotogo company has released dates for its 2011 sportive series.

Regular readers of the blog will know I have partaken in a few of their events over the last couple of years and have had mixed levels of success and performance (See the post about the Rut recently to get the lows !).

The calendar has a mixed bag of events and locations with the Cheshire Cat opening the series before it heads to Cornwall for the Tor.

Northern Rock Cyclone Challenge entries open Sunday

Sportive to run alongside National Elite Road Race Championships

When it all goes wrong...

Some mornings you can kind of tell it wont happen for you. But with the rain hammering off the bonnet of the car and the trees bent at right angles, I had no foresight that Kilotogo event "The Rut" was going to be such a long and tough day for me.

However, within 3 miles I was dropped out of the group I started with and despite a mate waiting a couple of times for me up to the first feed, it was apparent that I was going badly.

Colomba Chemo Classic scheduled for November

Pro riders lined up for second edition of Dales charity ride

Missed the Etape this year? France a bit too far? In September you get a chance to ride a stage of another professional bike race, and you don’t have to leave the shores of Blighty to do it.

Anthony Maynard Sportive ride report: friendly, fun and a feast for foodies

“Did you enjoy that? Any complaints?” asked Neil Smith, co-organiser of last weekend’s Anthony Maynard Sportive, as he swiped my timing chip on the finishing line. Perhaps he’d read some of my previous reports. “Yes” and “No” respectively, were my responses offered in those mildly euphoric, endorphin-enhanced moments when the pedalling stops, in this instance after 110km in the saddle.
