Event Summary
Event Overview
A warm welcome from Women on Wheels (WoW), a Worcestershire based all-female cycling club.
We hope you can join us for a challenge and a great day out on your bike on the WOW Sportive, the first all-female sportive to be held in glorious Worcestershire. So, we’ve been studying the maps and have three beautiful safe routes to choose from, all starting from Norton Parish Hall, four miles south east of Worcester - plonk in the middle of lovely lanes.
If this is your first time, or you are a sportive regular, we have something to suit you. There are three distances on offer
Wadborough Wanderer - 16 miles (26 km) of local country lanes that surround the Sportive HQ. This is the perfect ride for anyone thinking of trying a sportive for the first time.
Overbury Outing - 32 miles (51 km) of riding which take you little further afield, with some hills and fabulous views as a reward. Great for those wanting a little more of a challenge.
Worcestershire Weaver - 66 miles (106 km) in which to explore the glorious Worcestershire countryside. Undulating. This is suited to the more experienced rider.
The two longer routes will have a feed station and the shorter route has Croome Court café at half way. We hope to see you there!

About the Event
Info for Riders
All routes will be fully signed, with some marshals out on the course and the GPX file of each route will be available before the event. In addition, we will have a mobile mechanic waiting to deal with any mechanical issue. Professional First Aid cover will be stationed at the Village Hall.
When you’ve had your fun on the bike you can relax and have refreshments back at base. All riders will receive a medal and of course some home-made cake.
There are 100 parking spaces on site. In the interests of the environment and to ease parking, we would encourage any local riders to cycle to the event, taking advantage of the new foot / cycle bridges to avoid the main roads.
Women on Wheels are supporting New College Worcester in this event and aim to raise money to buy and maintain a tandem bike for the students to use. NCW is a national residential school and college for young people aged 11 to 19 who are blind or vision impaired, based in Worcester.
