Take to the start line on one of the World’s most famous pieces of tarmac and ride a massed start lap of the amazing International Circuit. A Sportive opening you’ll never forget!

Once we’ve completed a lap we head out onto this wonderful 126km figure of 8 circuit. We’ve discovered the quietest roads the area has to offer, enjoying some wonderful villages and of course some lumps on the way! 1,167m of lumps to be exact. Study the map profile and you’ll see it’s a consistent up and down, with no mountains, we’ve aimed to make this medium route a challenge without making it an impossible day in the saddle.

2 of our amazing feed stations are encountered along the way, both of them at Moreton Pinkney Village Hall. The 1st stop is a breakfast feed at 40km and then at 105km, we have the so-called FULL FAT Feed! fresh pies and sausage rolls, sandwiches, as much High5 as you can fit in your pockets and the now famous Brownie and a brew! We are from Yorkshire after all!

Another 32km after the feed, don’t eat too much, there are some lumps! Back to Silverstone for our BBQ sausage, an awesome medal and a chilled can of Erdinger Alkoholfrei!
