Best for: Indulging yourself in everything velo-vintage
Highlights: This is the first year the event dubbed ‘the most handsome bike race in the World’ has come to our fair shores. An offshoot of L’Eroica, the fabled Italian sportive will use the lanes, rugged tracks, and magnificent scenery of the Peak District National Park – it’s going to be spectacular. Riders need to adhere to the ‘Good to Knows’ race day rules that include riding only ‘Heroic’ bicycles, road racing bikes, built before 1987.
Locations: Bakewell (Peak District)
Distances: 30, 55, 100 miles
