Less than 50 spaces left
RideStaffs Spring Forward Sportives 2017 will take place on 2nd April, starting and finishing in Uttoxeter and taking in many of the same roads as our popular summer sportives that have traditionally started and finished at Shugborough Hall. Our early season leg stretcher offers a choice of either 55 or 30 miles on the day.
As an early season sportive we've kept to roads that should be unaffected by all but the worst possible April weather, but nonetheless, please pay particular attention to planning your clothing, nutrition and tyre choice for the day as conditions at this time of year can be changeable
What's included?
All rides are chip timed,
All routes are signed
All rides include a finishers medal
All participants get a goody bag.
All riders get a flap-jack snack at registration
First aid support is located at the start/finish and at the feed on the longer ride.
Below is an overview of the routes and elevation profile. Over the first quarter of 2017 we'll be publishing more detailed previews of the routes on ridestaffs.co.uk and through our YouTube and Facebook pages so keep an eye on those pages for more detailed insight.
