Cycling in and around Newark is one of the most enjoyable ways to explore Nottinghamshire and further into Lincolnshire.

We have purposely made this sportive as flat as we could, the whole route has been designed so you can enjoy a nice day in the saddle with likeminded cyclists.

A great flat ride awaits in the countryside. There are two routes on this sportive, a Long of 161 km (100 Miles) and a Medium route of 100 km (63 Miles).

Enjoy 2024 with great cycling in great company in this picturesque environment.

No matter your ability, this is a friendly and welcoming sportive.

All our events are fully supported with marked routes, you won't have to worry about anything other than the cycling.
