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!
ROUTES
At TPR Events, we’re dedicated to creating the best routes for riders to enjoy. Every route is carefully plotted, analysed, risk-assessed, tested, and fully signposted, giving you the confidence to ride with peace of mind. Plus, all routes will be available to download as GPX files, providing turn-by-turn directions on your phone or GPS device. GPX files will be available a few days before the event, after our final checks for road closures and obstructions.
For Tour de Broads Winter Series 2026, we’ve crafted 6 routes over 3 events to offer something for every rider. At each event, you’ll have the choice to ride either 25 or 50 miles, simply let us know which distance you’re riding when you sign on.
The routes are all currently provisonal. We will update them if we make any changes.
