Saturday 16 May 2015.  The Wooler Wheel Borderlands. 

A repeat of our successful feast of sportive cycling first introduced in 2014.  Taking place in Northumberland and Scottish Borders, a choice of no less than 4 routes with nominal distances of 170, 100, 60 km and a dedicated junior 30 km sportive.  Entries for this event are now open (entries close Sunday 3 May 2015).   Enjoy these rides for their own sake or use them as part of your training programme for......

Saturday 25 July 2015.  The Wooler Wheel Big 'un. (New event)

Not for the faint-hearted.  This complete circumnavigation of the High Cheviots on quiet roads in Northumberland and Scottish Borders is a nominal 200km (actual 208.6km, 129.6miles) with an estimated total ascent of 3200m.  We expect only elite riders will wish to enter this  event.  The halfway station (approx) of this route will be Kielder Castle within Kielder Forest where, as well  as the normal  Feed station, there will be sports massage services.  Our partner for this event will be Kielder Water & Forest Park.  Note that this ride does not go down any stretches of the dangerous A68.  Entries for this event are now open (entries close Sunday 19 July 2015).  

Saturday 3 October 2015.  The Wooler Wheel Classic.

The original and continuing to grow in popularity.  Two routes in Northumberland with nominal distances of 100 and 50km.  A great introduction for first time sportivers, but still demanding rides for experienced cyclists.  A perfect way to wind down the season for elite cyclists. Entries for this event are now open (entries close Sunday 20 September 2015).
