This new sportive for 2016 is part of the Road2Recovery charity fundraising events organised by Claire Lomas to raise vital funds for the Nicholls Spinal Injury Foundation.

Starting from Eye Kettleby Lakes near Melton Mowbray, the three distances will all use the same quiet roads around this beautiful part of Leicestershire & Rutland and for most of the time you will see little traffic.

This new event promises to be a fun & friendly day with something to offer every type of rider.
