We're already planning next years ride and taking onboard many rider's preferences for better road surfaces. Although we had the usual fantastic KILO TO GO weather the unusually heavy rain and strong wind in the weeks before the event had washed lot of debris with new potholes appearing on the narrow lanes.
Using many roads, lanes and climbs not previously used in other cyclosportives, Wild Edric, named after a local folk legend, is set amid suitably legendary countryside: Shropshire and the Welsh Marches. A land of myths and folk tales, the area is not only beautiful but hilly; very hilly in fact. KILO TO GO is confident that the Long Mynd climb will become a legend in its own right. Although the area itself is hilly the ride is another enjoyable and challenging cyclosportive with something for everyone - Shady wooded valleys, long steady climbs, forested hillsides, pretty villages with country pubs, almost traffic free roads
Just in case you need reminding all our rides are fully insured and supported 'top-end' cyclosportives with top-notch HQ's with showers etc. We have Star massage for post ride recovery, well stocked and safely located feed-stations with knowledgable crew. NEG motorcycle safety officers and rider support from Velo29 keep your ride safely moving along. Transponder timing and professional photography from Phil O'Conner come as standard too.
There is lots of affordable accommodation in and around the pretty little event headquarters town of Bishop's Castle - worth a visit in its own right. For more details this link is useful www.bishopscastle.co.uk/tourism/accommodation_bc.htm
This hilly challenge ride takes you through what genuinely has to be some of the most glorious countryside. Quiet roads and lots of ‘why-dont-I-live-here?’ villages. Major climbs include Bishop’s Moat, Asterton Bank (The Long Mynd), Stretton Hills, Castle Hill, Stiperstones, Marton Hill (Long Mountain). This particular part of the country is known as the 'Secret County' and is now opened up to cyclosportive riders by KILO TO GO.
