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.

Superb Bespoke Medals

 

Your ride earns you a superbly designed bespoke chunky metal medal with a ribbon specific to your chosen distance. We love our medals and you tell us you do too!

The Tour de Broads Winter Series is a collection of road cycling sportives designed to increase your mileage, fitness and winter cycling happiness at the darkest time of the year. It can be hard to find the motivation in the winter so let us inspire you off your sofa or indoor trainer and out onto the lanes of Norfolk to enjoy the much needed boost of a fully signposted and supported ride surrounded by like-minded riders. 

Entry is for the series of 3 events and, as usual, our Winter Series also has a uniquely designed set of interlocking medals that are not to be missed. We hope you love them as much as we do…   Entry to individual rides will be last minute and subject to not being sold out. 

Can’t make one event but really, really, really want to collect all three medals? No worries, ride another time and send us ride proof and we will post your medal!

With routes of 25 and 50 miles, there’s something for everyone, no matter your experience or bike type. Each route is fully signposted, risk-assessed, and supported by the friendly TPR Events team.

Together we can beat the winter cycling blues!
