Attention youth riders & parents!: Evans "RideIt!" Cambridge Sportive
WHAT, WHEN, WHERE?
On 20th July there will be a ride organised by Evans Cycles starting and finishing at the National Trust's Wimpole Hall. The event is a great opportunity for a CC Ashwell club ride for youth members of all ages and their parents. You can choose to ride with friends or just tackle the ride at your own pace. If you don't want to ride hard you can take as long as you like, and you can stop whenever you fancy a break.
WHO?
Children are very welcome and they can take part for FREE as long as they are accompanied by a paying adult. Note that this isn't a race - instead, it is a non-competitive "sportive" ride. Anyone can enter - you don't have to be fast, fit or have a fancy bike. There are no prizes - just the satisfaction of having done the ride.
I expect there will one or two thousand riders there. The day's Tour de France action will be shown live on a big screen at Wimpole Hall after the ride too. It will be a great day out.
DISTANCES?
There are several route options ranging in distance from 15 miles to 90 miles. Anyone is welcome to tackle any of the routes, but these are my suggestions:-
Note that this isn't a CC Ashwell session and you must enter it directly yourself. Don't leave it too late as the event is popular and is filling up quickly. If you have any queries though just email/whisper me a message or catch up with me at a Thursday evening coaching session.
And let me know if you decide to sign up, and I'll keep a list of who'll be there from CC Ashwell youth & parents.

- The 15 mile route would be an excellent challenge for our youngest members
- The 36 mile route would be an achievement for Under 12 & Under 14 members
- The 63 mile route would be a real challenge for more experienced Under 14 & Under 16 members
- And anyone who fancies the 90 mile route will certainly have earned several slices of cake back at Wimpole Hall afterwards

I was looking for a local sportive that let kids enter. Joe and I have signed up for the short route 36 miles.

Hopefully I'll be allowed out on the bike in a few weeks time.
