RIDE IT Reading Road Sportive
Event info
RIDE IT is a series of non-competitive cycle events taking place across the country and aimed at riders of all abilities. At every ride you’ll find a choice of fully waymarked routes, well stocked feed stations sponsored by High 5 Sports Nutrition, mechanical and sweeper van support if things go wrong, electronic chip timing to record your ride and a finishers medal waiting for you at the end.
Based in the small village of Whitchurch Hill, we're back for another spin around event organiser Dean’s back yard. The routes spread across the beautiful Berkshire countryside and Chiltern Hills, so expect a fair amount of climbing. The great Streatley Hill will make an appearance on the longer routes, but the great views as you head out past the Ridgeway make it all worthwhile.
As with all RIDE IT events, there will be a choice of ride lengths, High5 fuelled feed stations and way-marked routes to make for a fantastic, hassle-free day's riding.
