Why Ride with TPR Events?

Brilliant Routes

 

Using our local cycling knowledge we design, drive, risk assess and test ride every route ourselves. We then meticulously sign eeach route with arrows before, on and after every turn and at least every 2 miles… Meaning each event usually has over 1000 signs!

Tasty Adnams Reward

 

Thanks to our friends at Adnams, have a tasty beer on us at the finish to celebrate your achievement ! Cheers from Adnams and TPR Events.

Value for Money

 

As a not-for-profit organisation we don’t have a share holder or investor to pay so our entry fees are among the lowest prices in the market. All our events are proudly all-inclusive of food and drinks, souvenirs and bespoke medals. We also do not charge a booking fee and we will try to resell or swap your ticket if you can’t make it. 

Food & Drink Included

 

All food and drink at feed stops are included with your entry. Choose from tea, coffee, a selection of squashes, fresh fruit, our famous homemade flapjacks and more! We also cater for dietary requirements, just tell us when booking.

Event Times

This is no ordinary Sportive. We’ve even managed to sort out access to few trails that are not normally open to bikes giving you a unique opportunity to ride restricted trails with the full management and backing of the RSPB. Don’t miss this one!

Starting at the incredible RSPB Minsmere Nature Reserve before heading out to join up nature reserves and wildlife havens in the best possible way, on 2 wheels!

This is not a road event; it’s 50% off-road with no alternative sectors, it’s a route where you will get muddy and be grinning from ear to ear. The route has been carefully planned to take in some of the best off-road and quiet country lanes that you could possibly hope for and is suitable for any bike that is at home off-road, from a retro hardtail, to a bouncy full susser, or your latest shiny new gravel bike. There’s a bit of everything on this route; wide forest tracks, rooty singletrack, gravel, sand, mud and mellow lanes.

The 50 mile route includes a complimentary lunch, and all riders enjoy free hydration and snack stations. Each route is fully signposted, risk-assessed, and supported by the friendly TPR Events team.
