Every year 17,000 riders take part in the Tour of Flanders sportive. It is a chance to share in the pro rider's experience of 17 brutal climbs and cobbled sections that make the spring classic so legendary. The ride takes place on Saturday and the following day you will get to watch the the pros tackle the same course. There is a choice of three road distances. The Ronde van Vlaanderen voor wierlertoeristen en MTBers - to quote the full title doesn't discriminate between fat tyre funsters and road racers. Belgians are keen for everyone to ‘enjoy' their cobbles. MTB riders have the choice of 25, 54 and 75km routes. While road riders can take on the full 259km starting from Bruges at 5am. The 140km mid-distance misses out the opening flat section but still features all the classic climbs and pave, there is also a 75km shorter ride.

Quebrantahuesos [pronouced kay-bran-tah-oo-ay’-sos] means “bone crusher” or Osprey in Spanish and it is an appropriate name for a sportive that test riders on the soaring cols of the Pyrenees. The quality of the route and race organisation is underlined by the inclusion of the Quebrantahuesos in the UCI Golden Bike series of the best cyclosportives in the world. The Quebrantahuesos marcha cicloturista (also known as la quebranta) starts and finishes in the Spanish town of Sabiñánigo at the foot of the Pyrenees. Over 205km cyclists are pushed to their limits as the combination of a long route and tough Pyrenean climbs takes its toll. The race and the area is steeped in cycling history with many stages of the Vuelta a España having finished in Sabiñánigo.

The Granfondo Colnago is held in the rolling hills that surround the city of Piacenza in Emilia Romagna, Colnago’s home. This region is one of Italy’s hidden treasures, with its small mountains and lush green valleys it is the perfect location for a Granfondo.
