Newbury Sportive
Event info
For our second sportive of 2016, we’ve chosen a new venue and put together a fantastic route to help burn away any festive excess and kick off the year in style. Located on the doorstep of the Wessex Downs, Burghclere is ideally located to provide an incredible day in the saddle from start to finish. Beautiful English countryside and quiet roads make for a lovely winter spin, while the gradual (and occasional sharp!) climbs will keep you warm in the January air! As with all RIDE IT classic events there will be a choice of route distances to suit all abilities, as well as High5 feed stations, friendly staff and a plentiful supply of cake!

Nice. I'd ride that Madone now.
