Home NEWS Update - View the latest HERE>>Welcome to the Vitus Road Sportives 2012 The fourth season of the Road Sportives Series is here and will once again offer the choice of two fantastic courses per location for you skinny enthusiasts, novices and intermediates alike. So whatever your skill or fitness level, we will have the right course length and level of difficulty for your ability. The Vitus Road Sportives will be run alongside the Chain Reaction Cycles MTB Series powered by Mercedes-Benz Vito Sport at the same location making it a “Mini Cycle Festival” weekend so there is always something going on from Friday afternoon until Sunday evening. It just makes for a great weekend away. Big news for 2012 is the introduction of a 4th round and a new event in Abergavenny – Please note, that the Sportive runs on the Sunday of the Abbergavenny event weekend - All other Sportives are run on the Saturday. Why come to the Vitus Road Sportives? Following the huge trend of non-competitive road events the Vitus Road Sportives are trying to set themselves apart from the rest. The experienced team behind the Chain Reaction Cycles MTB Marathon Series is continuously putting extra effort into the Road Sportives to take them to the next level by offering a high quality event package with outstanding courses, brand new and reworked courses with lots of challenging climbs and descents. Paired with breathtaking views and 1st class facilities and a friendly and helpful organisation…pretty much the same deal the riders of the marathon series have been enjoying for over a decade now. The combination of sportives and MTB Marathons into one event weekend will bring different cycling disciplines together and give the hardened endurance experts out there the chance to get a ‘proper’ warm up ride on Saturday before the dirt awaits them the following day. Same goes for the hardened sportive rider who like the idea of finding out how his / her power and stamina translate to the marathon courses of the Chain Reaction Cycles MTB Marathon series. What is going to happen in 2012 and how it is going to happen: First of all, here is the complete date and venue line-up for the 2012 season: Selkirk {SELKIRK PAGE} - Scotland Marshbrook {MARSHBROOK PAGE} – England (Shropshire) Abbergavenny {ABBERGAVENNY PAGE} - Wales Ruthin {RUTHIN PAGE} - Wales |
