Wiggle Super Series
The 2014 Wiggle Super Series will officially launch on Wednesday 23 October. The hugely popular series attracted almost 40,000 riders across 36 events all over the United Kingdom in 2013.
Over 70% of the Wiggle Super Series events reached capacity well in advance of the event so be sure to put the 23rdof October in your diary!
Events such as the Wiggle French Revolution and Wiggle French Resistance sportives are expected to sell out in a matter of days, if not hours. These events offer riders the chance to cycle in France for the day with all the usual superb Wiggle Super Series event support for just £65.
Another event which is likely to sell out quickly is the free of charge Wiggle No Excuses Sportive with 2,000 riders claiming their free tickets this year. Also watch out for the Wiggle New Forest Spring Sportive, the Wiggle Ups & Downs and the Wiggle South Downs 100 Sportive, all of which are expected to be snapped up in record time.
Martin Barden of UK Cycling Events, the organiser of the Wiggle Super Series, said:
“Uptake and feedback for the 2013 Wiggle Super Series was absolutely phenomenal. It was our biggest calendar of events so far. In response to the demand we are expanding the Wiggle Super Series in 2014 with an additional 6 exciting new events that will provide even more people the opportunity to get out and ride.”
"Furthermore we are investing more resource into improving on what is already a fantastic experience through initiatives such as offering riders a free ‘finishers technical T-shirt’ and providing more mechanical support on the day. We look forward to welcoming riders next year and can’t wait to get started!”
Andrew Whillas, Sponsorship Manager at Wiggle, is equally excited at the prospect of more riders getting out on the road and trails in 2014:
“Thanks to another incredible result in the Tour de France and momentum from Team GB’s stunning performance in the Olympics, cycling has seen an unparalleled increase in popularity in the UK over the past 12 months.
“Wiggle is committed to making cycling accessible to as many people as possible and the Wiggle Super Series offers riders of all abilities a great opportunity to get out and ride in with the confidence there is a fantastic support network behind them at the events”
All events in the series include well-stocked feed stations, mechanical support, chip timing, well-marked courses, massages, bike wash facilities, finishers’ medals, free finishers T-shirt and much more.
Wiggle Super Series events are renowned for being industry leading for their excellent organisation, fantastic courses and superb atmosphere.
The much loved Wiggle Super Series Early Bird incentive will also continue: riders that book any event more than eight weeks in advance will receive a free High5 nutrition pack worth over £10.
The ‘Wiggle Super Series Season Pass’ will also be back for 2014. Each pass gives the rider an automatic entry into all events at a massively reduced cost – perfect for riders looking to make the most of the ever increasing event calendar. There are only limited numbers of passes available and they are extremely popular Christmas presents, so riders are advised to buy early.
