The Boudicca Sportive on Sunday 19 May 2013

Named after Queen Boudicca – famous for her red hair, fighting spirit and for owning a pretty tasty set of chariot wheels – the event ran for the first time in 2012 and received a huge amount of positive feedback. Boudicca is back again for 2013 – bigger and better but with the same attention to detail, friendly atmosphere and great cycling countryside.

FAQ's

  • Who can enter?

    There is no lower (or upper!) age limit for any of the rides, however for riders born in 1995 or later the following conditions must be met:
    • Riders must present a completed and signed Parental Consent Form at registration on the day of the sportive
    In addition:
    • Riders born in 1997 or later must be accompanied on the ride by a parent or guardian
    The parental consent forms will be sent via e mail to riders once they have entered.

    It is the responsibility of the parent/guardian who signs the parental consent form to be satisfied that the ride entered is within the physical capability of the young rider.
  • How do I enter?

    All entries are being taken via the British Cycling website.

    If you are not a BC member you will be asked to register with BC as part of the entry process. There is no cost associated with the registration process and it will only take a couple of minutes.

    Free places for riders born 1997 or later – 30 mile sportive only.

    Parents/guardians wishing to claim a free place for a rider born on 1997 or later should enter themselves in the event and then, when their paid entry has been accepted, e mail the organisers (boudiccasportive@gmail.com) with details of the young rider – name, address and date of birth.

    The free rider will then be added manually to the start sheet but will receive all the benefits of a paid entry.

    This offer is based on a ‘buy one get one free’ basis.
