A Beginner’s Guide to Sportive Riding

What to Expect in a Velo29 Sportive

Ease yourself back into Sportive riding and blow off some winter cobwebs in this Winter Warm Up Sportive. Aimed to prepare you for the up and coming Monument Sportive season and break up that winter training. Test out new equipment, ease yourself back in after the winter break or just break the monotony of a long winter training alone! This is a slightly shorter route than normal, not too many hills, a later morning start but all the full features you would expect from a full-size Velo29 Sportive.

A great feed stop at Great Smeaton Village Hall for all routes, all the treats you expect at a Velo29 Feed!

Once back at Queen Elizabeth College you can tuck into your post ride BBQ Sausage bun and can of Erdinger!
