Event: 17 March 2013
The Lionheart is back - but be warned, it’s got more bite!
Spin Events, in association with Endura and Trek, proudly present the Endura Trek Lionheart 2013.
Roaring into its third year, The Lionheart has worked hard to establish itself as one of the UK’s must do cyclosportives. Voted once again as one of the top sportives of 2012 by Cyclosport riders; they’re back in the saddle on Sunday March 17th 2013, enjoying the splendour of Longleat Estate as the start and finish location of this event. Both 100 mile and 100 km routes have been altered and tweaked to perfection.
With its undeniably breathtaking, rolling countryside, this is a quiet corner of South West England and both routes certainly exploit this fact. This is characterful cycling terrain and the Lionheart certainly deserves some respect with its quota of testing climbs.
Continuing in their quest to offer riders a memorable, value-for-money sportive, Spin Events say that riders can expect full mechanical back-up, vehicular support and NEG motorcycle outriders out on course. The well stocked, village hall feed stations will come as a welcome relief, as will the free hotpot back at the Event HQ on the lawns of Longleat House.
With two years of glowing reviews from riders tucked securely under its mane, The Lionheart is a perfect, early season ride, which will really stretch out those winter legs.
“Spin Events have the makings of a true classic with this event - top notch food, a great atmosphere and a stunning early season route - AND their own beer. This is a great ride and comes highly recommended (rumour has it, 2013 routes will dip into the UK’s Specialist Wine Merchant of the Year..........now that’s what I call a feed station).”
Entries for the 2013 Endura Trek Lionheart Cyclosportive will open on Friday 16th November and cost £36.00. 2013 ‘Lionhearters’ can be assured of a challenging and memorable day.
