Events We Help UK Riders Prepare For

Training toward a specific date changes everything about how a plan should be built. We coach riders preparing for sportives and Gran Fondos across the UK calendar, including:

  • Dragon Ride (Brecon Beacons, Wales) — the UK’s toughest sportive
  • Fred Whitton Challenge (Lake District)
  • Etape Caledonia (Scottish Highlands)
  • Tour of Cambridgeshire (UCI Gran Fondo World Series qualifier)
  • CiCLE Classic (Rutland/Leicestershire)
  • RideLondon-Essex (London to Essex)
  • Local club time trials, hill climbs and road race calendars run by British Cycling

 

Racing further afield — Mallorca 312, the Maratona dles Dolomites, Strade Bianche or a Gran Fondo World Championship qualifier? We build UK-based athletes’ training blocks around those targets too.
