Organisers of the Epic Cycles Spring Challenge, Devil Ride and Autumn Epic http://www.cyclosportives.co.uk Provisional finishing times for 2009 have been published. http://www.cyclosportives.co.uk/epicHome.htm A comprehensive event guide has been posted out to all riders (final packs were delayed by a last minute HQ change, so the last ones went in the post box on 26th Sept) in their rider packs, along with laminated bike numbers and route cards. http://www.cyclosportives.co.uk/epicHome.htm Into the final two weeks and there are still afew places left for the final Autumn Epic. Delayed joining instructions will be posted by 25th Sept - with the new HQ location. http://www.cyclosportives.co.uk/epicHome.htm Into the final week and there are less than 10 places left for the Devil Ride on 12th July. http://www.cyclosportives.co.uk/devilHome.htm 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 - read the report of our test ride from sportive blogger Dave Lee! http://www.cyclosportives.co.uk/devilHome.htm The route outlines for both the full 105 mile route and the shorter 50 mile route have been published. The Devil Ride is now around 75% full - and the cut-off for ordering commemorative jerseys and tee shirts is approaching fast. http://www.cyclosportives.co.uk/devilHome.htm Entry to the 2009 Autumn Epic is now open. Once again, we will not be operating a reserve list, so please do enter in good time if you plan to ride. http://www.cyclosportives.co.uk/epicHome.htm Entry to the 2009 Devil Ride is now open. 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. http://www.cyclosportives.co.uk/devilHome.htm The Epic Cycles Spring Challenge 2009 has sold out - in just 4 days! http://www.cyclosportives.co.uk 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 in early December, with the other two going live in the New Year. http://www.cyclosportives.co.uk To all the brave souls that rode or helped out on Sunday. The weather certainly added another dimension to the event, which many riders seemed to have revelled in (the well dressed ones at least!). Times and photos are avaiolable now. http://www.cyclosportives.co.uk/epicHome.htm
