The wiggle Spring Saddle Sportive has great ingredients for a perfect early season event….flattish flowing course, beautiful Countryside, quiet roads and a choice of distances.

19th May – Wye Valley Warrior – “Starting from the impeccable Chepstow Racecourse, you’ll head straight up the Wye valley hugging the awe inspiring, majestic Wye River all the way. Riders will zig zag the river several times soaking in the views of the sheer cliff faces and the powerful river below. Along the way you’ll pass some iconic landmarks such as Tintern Abbey.”
1st Jun – Stratford Tempest – “The Event will be based at Warwick Racecourse, with great access from the M40/A46. Quiet roads lead immediately to Shakespeare country, wondrous villages lead to the Stratford and Avon Canal, where the ride zig zags aqueducts and the canal, along the River Alne and its quaint hamlets, before reaching “Rynild Street” Old Roman Road.”

Starting from the home of the Midlands Grand National, Uttoexter is perfectly positioned, with access from the M6, and M1 motorways.

Starting from The Westpoint arena, home of the Devon County show.

From here the route heads southwest into the North Pennines, which is filled with quality climbs, breath taking views and extremely quiet roads!”
27th October – Circuit Breaker – “The Wiggle Circuit Breaker Sportive starts from the iconic Silverstone Motor Racing Circuit. This is a cracking end of season sportive made up of rolling hills. It is not a hilly course, it can be described as flowing allowing rider to keep a good pace. There is only 1 notable hill which features on the Epic loop”
10th November – Hell Fire Corner – “The name for this Sportive comes from WW2, as this part of Kent was within range of the German Guns in France, and had a tough time, so you can expect a challenging Sportive!”
