This is something that Cyclo really likes the sound of: a combined Sportive and Beer Festival (with the usual sensible get-out of saying don’t drink and ride of course). Three routes on offer, suitably entitled the Half Pint (38miles), Pint (54miles) and Yard (70miles) which includes a timed “King o’the hill” challenge; prices at 20, 23 and £25 respectively and a well deserved pint can be enjoyed at the annual Oldham RUFC beer festival which follows the ride. On-site camping is included in the sportive entry fee and the day offers route cards, feed stations, electronic timing, mech services, SAG wagon, insurance, changing and shower facilities and motorcycle outriders. Honestly, what more could you ask for!
Race HQ is at Oldham RUFC (click here for map) with sign on from 7.00am and start times beginning at 8.30am.
