Fellow Members.
I've come across another couple of local cyclosportives which I've detailed below. I quite fancy the The Three Shires Sportives myself.
1) The Three Shires CycloSportive.18th April 2010
Location: Cheshire, Derbeyshire, Staffordshire
The route covers some of the finest upland and wooded valleys in Cheshire, Derbyshire and Staffordshire, all packaged into 100kms and nearly 6,000 feet of climbing.
We’ve set a challenging but achievable course, in arguably the finest scenery in the whole of the three counties. There’s very little flat on the course although by the same token we’ve taken care to avoid the real legbreaking hills.
Having been involved with some of the biggest sportives in the UK, including last year’s Tour of Britain Etape, we plan to make the 3Shires one of the premier events on the UK sportive calendar.
All event proceeds go toward local community charities through the co-organiser Buxton Round Table and Kidscan. Big Storage of Macclesfield is sponsoring the event and make its parking and other facilities available to riders.
You can enter online or alternatively pick up an entry form from Peak cyclesport on Fence Avenue, Macclesfield www.peakcyclesport.com
