Sportives / rides mid to late season

Manfreed Manny

Guys,

Following a few major surgeries this year I have missed out on the Etape etc and not being terribly offay with events I wonder if anyone could point me in the direction of August / September Sportives (or in fact any sort of rides) that would potentially have places available. I am keen to ride, the more arduous the better as i intend to get a little charity collection going.

Many thanks!

Mannie

Ride 101 from Thame Oxon was amazing last year. Until it started chucking it down on the last 40 miles.... Bit of Chilterns, bit of Aylesbury Vale, some rough roads, some good roads, organisation was good. October time I think.

Hi

Look no further than the excellent Autumn Epic in early October in central Wales

Fantastic scenery, very well run and extremley friendly competitors

You really do get a wide variety of rider and quite country roads

Just under a 100 miles with some challenges but doable by most expierienced riders

Can't recommend this enough

Hope to see you there

How about The Tour of Britain's official sportive events, The Prostate Cancer Charity Tour Rides?

You can ride the South West event from Minehead to Teignmouth on the 6th September, and the Stoke-on-Trent ToB route on the 26th September. Both are being held on the official routes of the 2010 Tour of Britain, so you can test yourself against professional standards at the same time.

Please do find out more at www.tourride.co.uk

I did a 65 miler through SRS events last Sunday - it was horrible because it rained all day. I'm planning on doing the 95 miler in August - I can't really comment on how tough it is as I haven't done too many sportives, but I can say that the SRS sportives are well organised (usually) well attended and roll through beautiful countryside. Contact Rupert at SRS events for more info - he's a good guy.
