Since 2006 we've been helping people to get on their bikes. We're the people behind some of the biggest and best cycling events from every corner of Britain - from John O'Groats to Land's End and Wales to The Wash. We also partner with some of the best brands such as Wiggle, High 5 Sports nutrition and charity partner Cancer Research UK. For more click here.
New to cycling?
Cyclosportive events attract a wide range of riders, from dedicated racing cyclists to leisure cyclists wanting a challenging ride that allows people to test themselves. It's a great way to pick up or share tips with other riders too. Riders, from all walks of life, travel from all over the country to take part. Some people have been involved in cycling since they were a child; some people take up the sport to get fit or lose weight; others have moved from a different sport to cycling. You may want to raise money for charity, or set a goal. During the summer of 2010, KILO TO GO trained two busy veterinary surgeons who were non-cyclists to ride from 0 miles to 100 miles. They completed their 100 mile challenge at the end of September 2010 and are now completely mad about cycling!
Seasoned pro?
Maybe you've been enjoying cycling for years from a road, tri or mountain-biking background and you're looking for more. Take it from us, riding sportives can be as tough and fulfilling as any race - as tough as you make it in fact. Bring your experience to a sportive and see how you perform riding 100 miles or so over tough Shropshire Hills and the Welsh Marches. Maybe it's the the pan flat tranquillity of the Fens that floats your boat. However you choose to ride we can play our part in bringing more out of you whether it's riding the longest sportive in the UK or taking in the views from some of Europe's most spectacular cliff-tops.
Our events
KILO TO GO's rides are full-feature sportive rides right here in the UK. If you've not experienced the joy of riding a European sportive with lots of cyclists in warm of sunshine we can help create some of that right here in Beautiful Britain - although we will never guarantee the warm sunshine! We take you to some truly spectacular places, iconic landmarks and along some inspirational routes. We've got fully equipped Feedstations and support, fully way-marked routes taking you through the very best British countryside, gpx file downloads for your GPS, easy entry and sign-on, premium event headquarters with facilities, state of the art chip timing, professional event photography and lots more. Here's a taste of what's in store:
