Fancy an event with a twist? Then how about the Super CX Sportive this weekend, a 100km route over lots of different terrain and open to mountain bikes, 29ers, cyclo-crossers and singlespeeds.
On Sunday 26 June the event will pitch up in the village of Letcombe Regis just outside Wantage, and the route uses the ancient Ridgeway as the backbone of the days riding, diving on and off of this classic track to take you into the Marlborough and Lambourn Downs.
The course covers a fast variety of surfaces, from tarmac back lanes to semi technical offroad and much in between (the course profiles are broken down into five terrain types on the CX Sportive website). The overall effect is a varied day with something new to tackle around every corner. The event is open to all types of bike too, from CX and MTB, to 29ers, singlespeeds, hybrids and even more rugged road bikes whatever you feel best (or you are brave enough to tackle the course on, your choice of steed will be credited on your ride result.
This leads to an interesting ride pattern at a CX Sportive too. Rather than groups settling into their own pace, riders pass and repass one another through he day, as their different types of bikes gain and lose ground on different parts of the course.
