An amazing new open road Sportive from The Home of British Motorsport, the Iconic Silverstone Circuit!

Velo29 are delighted to invite you to join us at Silverstone for this great new Sportive. Many of you will be super excited to hear that the event starts on the iconic International Circuit where we complete a massed start lap before heading off onto the roads of Buckinghamshire. Ride past the pit lane along Hamilton Straight, kiss the apexes of Club and Vale then speed through Stowe onto Hanger Straight as you pass under the bridge! There is of course no rush, some will complete their lap at speed, while others will soak up the experience, grabbing some selfies and maximising the on-track time.

Then, in true Velo29 tradition, we head out onto some wonderful open roads and explore the area taking in all it has to offer along the way. As always we’ve hunted out the quiet roads, the lovely villages and a few bergs to wake you up along the way!

3 route choices, all with our amazing feed stations, the best signage there is, and brilliant ride support.

An unmissable Velo29 event for all riders!

The Monday before the sportive at 6pm, you will receive a ‘Get Ready’ email which contains information about the sportive.

On Tuesday at 10am, you will receive an ‘Act Now’ email which contains the links you need to obtain your rider number and booking reference in order to complete the Pre-Event Questionnaire and Book a Time Slot.

Booking opens from 10am Tuesday until 18:00 Thursday. This is ESSENTIAL to ride.

It is vitally important that you remain subscribed to our emails. However, copies will also be uploaded to our FB page which you do not need a FB account to access.


No entries on the day.

Entries close on Sunday night 1 week before the event.

For any questions relating to Pre-Event Questionnaire or Time Slot Booking email depart@velo29.com
