Devil Ride - Test Ride Report

Following our test ride on Sunday we are confident that all of the hard work that has gone into route planning has been worth every minute - the route is even better than in 08, with a great mix of high moorland, wooded lanes and sleepy meadows and an ideal balance of tough climbing with gentler rolling/sweeping stretches...finished off with a highly enjoyable 10 mile final run in along the Usk valley. Read the report of our test ride on Cyclosport - thanks to Dave Lee for that and to all for the great company.

Devil Ride - Route Outlines Published

The route outlines for both the full 105 mile route and the shorter 50 mile route have been updated here.

Autumn Epic - entries are now OPEN

On-line entry to the 2009 Autumn Epic is now open here. Once again, we will not be operating a reserve list, so please do enter in good time if you plan to ride.

Devil Ride - entries are now OPEN

Entry to the 2009 Devil Ride is now live here. As last year, we will not be taking any paper entries or accepting entry on the day. We have increased the entry limit this year, following a switch of HQ, as the event sold out very quickly in 2008.

Epic Cycles Spring Challenge 2009 - SOLD OUT!

Sportives would appear to be going from strength to strength in the UK, as the Spring Challenge 2009 sold out in a remarkable 4 days! Sorry if you didn't get a place in time - we can't increase the numbers sadly as car parking is limited to the same as last year.

Dates for 2009

The dates for our events in 2009 have been fixed - the Epic Cycles Spring Challenge will be Saturday 14th March (limited to 200 entries), the Devil Ride will be Sunday 12th July (750 entries and a new event centre), and the Autumn Epic (1000 entries) will be Sunday 4th October. The online entry system for the Spring Challenge will open on December 3rd, with the other two going live in the New Year.
