Starting proceedings on Saturday 28th is the fourth edition of the  Rutland CiCLE Tour. With two routes to choose from there is something for riders of all levels of fitness and experience. The shorter route is ideal for thos new to cylcing and cyclo-sportives, but still hard enough to provide a personal challenge.For those who have literally been around the block a few times there is the 100 mile option, which features the most picturesque lanes and villages the area has to offer.
