What is Cyclefest?
Cyclefest is a trio of cycling events, held across the UK; there is the Scottish Wanderer in Kelso on 6th May, the National Wanderer in Sledmere on 27th May and the Welsh Wanderer in Monmouth on 26th August.
Each event offers sportive routes ranging from 52-89km. There is an 8 mile family fun ride and a “Have a Go” Bike Demo Day. There is a cycling village at each with plenty to do and see.
There are competitions to enter, bike exhibitions, a bike demo course and a bike skills area, so plenty for anyone who is a bike fanatic.
Why Attend?
Cyclefest offers so much if you are just someone who loves to cycle or if you have a family who share your passion. The sportive route at all locations offers a scenic ride where you will see the sights of the area, alongside your fellow cyclists.
The family 8 mile route is designed for both adults and children and allows many bike types to ride, including electrically assisted, road or mountain bikes. It can be done leisurely and lets little ones build and increase on their cycle confidence and have a day with activity, making happy memories.
Both rides also include for your reassurance:
- Facilities and parking
- Mechanical support
- Medical support
- Full route marking
- Feed stops
- Energy food and drink
- Finisher medal
- On-site catering
- Pick-up wagons
