Event Overview

VCR Spring Sportive in Partnership with Re~Cycle - 15th of April 2023

Have all your winter miles paid off, or how does your Zwift fitness actually transfer to the great outdoors?!?

VC Revolution Cycling Club will be promoting its Annual RT / Cycle-Sportive on a rolling course based around the Essex and Suffolk borders. It's with great pleasure that for the 2023 edition, we again have partnered up with Re~Cycle! Re~Cycle is an amazing local charity (based in Wormingford) that ships bikes to Africa to change lives!


Our event HQ will be set at Re~Cycle, so everyone can have a look at the amazing work that is done here! Next to that, all proceeds of this event will be donated to Re~Cycle!

https://www.re-cycle.org/

We will be offering two challenging fully sign-posted routes, with maps and GPX files available online (please see 'About').
- 64 miles RT with 3000 ft elevation (102 km, 900m climbing)
- 42 miles RT with 1860 ft elevation (67 km, 570m climbing)

We look forward to see you on Saturday the 15th of April!
