Described by the organisers as a ‘fun and fabulous road cycling experience’ this is an event that gives you a warm sense of satisfaction as well as a great road riding.

Championed by Davina McCall, who’ll be taking part in the DIVA Sussex event herself, each event has a route to suit all abilities. The Cool routes are perfect for beginners, and have their own women only starts. These come in at between 20 to 4o miles.

If you want something longer, the mid-length Classic routes are in the region of 60 miles, and go all out on the Challenge rides which are 100 miles and upwards!

At the events you can expect all your cycling needs to be taken care of; mechanical assistance, route marshals and feed stations galore. There’s also event photography and post-ride massages! In return, you’ll be raising money for a charity that funds medical research into illnesses that affect children and infants.

Dates: 27th April Warwickshire, 11th May Sussex, 15th June Trossachs, 22nd June Chilterns, 17th August York, 31st August Essex, 14th September Bucks
