With one day of January remaining, Evans Cycles is offering a free sportive ride to cyclists who book themselves on to two of the bike retailer's RIDE IT sportives today!
The 3 for 2 offer ends today, so if you're keen to get out and ride, now's the time to book your place. Simply head over to the link below, select your three rides and type the RIDEIT342 code into the discount code box.
Over 25,000 cyclists took to the country's roads in 2016. This year's 65 events will cover some of the same roads as the 2016 series, but also some new ones.
The full list of events can be found by following the link below.
Plenty of you will be new to the sportive scene, but don't be put off by your inexperience. Almost all of the sportives have a comfortable range of rides that cover a variety of distances and difficulties so there'll certainly be something for everyone.
If you're feeling brave, or you're one of those masochistic cyclists who actually seeks out as much pain as you can sink your legs in to, Evans is also putting on a couple of super-sportives this year.
The first is the King of the Downs, which takes place on June 7 from Evans's Gatwick HQ.
The following month sees the second super-sportive, the HOY 100 on July 2 in Cheshire. As you might expect given this ride's name, it is being put on in collaboration with Sir Chris Hoy himself.
As a little cherry on top of this 3 for 2 offer, if the ride you're booking is more than eight weeks away you will be eligible for a free High5 sports nutrition bottle pack.
If you're in any doubts as to whether these sportives are for you, check out Evans's breakdown of all the great bits of last year's RIDE IT rides:
If he's not charging VAT yet then it would appear he's making well under 25 bikes per year currently. 8 full builds at 10-15k would send you over...
That looks like a fun bike. Frame only, 2 and an 1/2 grand.
Does this count as social media?
But down the line it can put a big dent in its resale value which ups leasing costs and the amount of cash an owner is throwing at their status...
Only reading the headline on the homepage, not the rest of the article, but I only ride mountain bikes and I still get close passed...
Fair enough, personal experience may trump (not that one) theory. However, the bonking I have experienced has been due to lack of carbs. Your point...
Agreed, but he was still right to publicise the event. The police, if they're anything like Lancashire, will do nothing at all.

in the UK we have policing which to a greater or lesser extent relies on assistance from members of the public......
Just wanted to share a quick thank you to everyone who helped out in this thread....
