The Rutland Border Epique Sportive
For 2027 we are at a brand new venue, but one local and not so local cyclists will be familiar with. We are delighted to be running the event from the Wymondham Windmill, which is perfectly placed for this trip into England’s smallest County and back.
As with all our events, the Rutland Border Epique is a fully supported challenge on the best roads Leicestershire and Rutland has to offer.
Choose from either three routes / distances on the road (100, 75, 60 miles). There’s a route for everyone and all routes have at least one feed station.
Once you’ve started your ride you’ll soon find yourself on quiet yet challenging terrain. The area is full of punchy climbs that come thick and fast, so there is always something to think about. No long, dull, flat sections here.
At least one feed station per route will be provided with a variety of sweet and savoury items including Pork Pies from Ye Olde Pork Pie Shoppe and we cater for all dietary requirements including Vegan, Vegetarian etc (you will be asked to inform us of requirements before the event). Hot and Cold drinks will be served as well as TORQ energy drink to fill your bottles before heading back out.
Once back to the HQ, we’ll re-fuel you with delicious hot food and tea / coffee as always!
The ride will start at 0800 for the long route, followed by the medium route and finally the short road route between 0845 & 0900
Full support is offered throughout the day all included in the fee - which also includes parking.
