This is the 10th, and Final, Big G Sportive
This popular summer sportive, held on the wonderful Yorkshire Wolds roads, has been running since 2008 and, as this is the 10th and final edition of the event, we aim to make it the best yet. You can be sure of a warm welcome in this unspoilt corner of Yorkshire and, as previous entrants will readily testify, we always try to give entrants a well-run, value for money event.
Have you ridden all 9 Big G events? If you have and want to ride the again this year, please email the organisers and you will be given free entry to the 10th.
With a limit of 750 riders, and therefore relatively small compared to some of the UK’s bigger events, we have received some fantastic feedback in recent years, and an excellent review by Cycling Weekly praising us for the standard of the event. This will be the final year of the Big G Cyclosportive so please be sure to get your entries in as soon as possible. This will also be the final running of the ‘Mini G’, covering 30km, which enables novice riders and families to experience this superb event.
The inaugural cyclosportive was held in 2008 in memory of Hull Thursday Road Club’s very own ‘Big G’, Graeme Forrester, and was generally very well received by nearly 300 riders who enjoyed the late summer sunshine and occasional heavy shower. We received some excellent feedback from the event that encouraged us to organise other events since, with the aim of increasing participation to a limit of 750 riders whilst improving the organisation.
Four fully paint-marked routes are available at distances of approximately 150km, 100km, 60km and 30km. All four routes have been chosen to take you through some of the best roads in this relatively undiscovered part of Yorkshire, and feature stunning views of the surrounding valleys and vales. On a clear day both the Yorkshire Dales and North Yorkshire Moors are clearly visible from the numerous high points en route.
