Chiltern Sportive suggestions - can't do the Horns anymore

brettjmcc

Hello all,
My plan to enter the Ride to the Horns suffered a set back on Friday. Despite already booking the date in my wife's diary, she got a rush to the head when she was lucky enough to get tickets for some overweight bloke with his old bandmates on the same day.

To say the least I was livid, it now means I have to look after our son (which I don't mind), it was more the 8+ months notice I had given for a weekend for me!!

Anyway, where can I get listings of Chiltern Sportives? That hopefully don't clash with the Dragon? Thanks in advance

Only ones I know of are:

Chiltern 100 - Sun 5th June 2011
http://www.chiltern-hundred.org.uk/

Trailbreak Sunday Sportives - Princes Risborough event was 25th April this year

Have you looked on the Cyclosport website? (might be a bit early for all events to be listed though)

Ride 101 goes through the Chilterns (amongst others) and goes past Webber's pub. Doesn't do all the Chiltern hills, but is pretty good - I think the website is www.justracing.co.uk and the ride is in Oct.

Rode the VC10 Sportive from Princes Risborough this year. A smalller but very well organised event with lots of free food at the end. Just be ready to climb Whiteleaf at 2 miles from the finish!

Only a few miles further out from the Chilterns is the Blenhiem Palace sportive. Probably the best sportive I have participated in
