British Cycling Cycle Sportive Team
It’s great for cycling to have an exciting new event at an iconic venue such as Silverstone. Cycling for 24 hours is a tough challenge for anyone, whether in a team or as a solo rider. However this is an event which can be tackled by anyone and we’d love to see this challenge act as a catalyst to get more people involved in the sport.”
