Cycle Sportive , Cleobury Mortimer – Sunday, 19 May 2019

Entry powered by British Cycling
Registered Sportive

Event Summary

Event Overview

Our inaugural sportive is raising funds and awareness for ASTRiiD, a new charity offering an online match-making service that connects its pool of highly-skilled members living with long term illness, matching them to flexible employment opportunities.


The Sportive is a beautiful 75km ride through the stunning hills of South Shropshire on mostly quiet country lanes and including the impressive historical market town of Ludlow, with magnificent views offered from Whitcliffe over Ludlow Castle and St Laurence’s Church. With 4 testing ascents and a total of 1550m of climbing, making for an interesting challenging day.


Starting and finishing at Teme Leisure Centre, Cleobury Mortimer (DY14 8PE), this will certainly be a ride that you won't want to miss!


Entry fee is £25.00.

About the Event

Info for Riders

Event registration will open at Teme Leisure (part of Lacon Childe School) at 9am.  Riders will leave in waves from 9.30 (this is to ease congestion through Cleobury Mortimer's small town!), the last one leaving approximately 9.45am.

At the event HQ, there will be changing rooms and toilets, as well as ample free parking (although there will be some donation buckets around to help raise even more funds for Astriid).

All riders must wear a helmet (this will be checked at the start line) and provide emergency contact information at sign on. All under 18's are very welcome but must be accompanied by a supporting adult at all times.

Feed station will be well stocked and located at Pearce Cycles in Ludlow.  There will also be complimentary hot food for all riders at the finish, as well as a finishers medal and post-ride goodies courtesy of Astriid.
