Now in it;s second year the Jodrell Bank Cyclosportive has established it's self as one of the leading sportives in the North of England to kick off your season. This year the event has a bigger venue Poynton Leisure Centre. We have also tweeked the routes to take some of the hills out around Pott Shrigley for the 30 mile and 50 mile events but left them in for the 80 miles.
Good quality quiet roads with a relatively flat routes makes this event a great start to your Cyclosportive season. Handily placed just two weeks before the Cheshire Cat makes this a great warm up event.
