Welcome to this years Jodrell Bank Classic which will be held on the Sunday the 15th of March 2015. Once again we will be starting at Poynton Leisure Centre, Yew Tree Lane, Poynton then heading off into the Cheshire Plains.

We have three challenging routes which have been designed by experienced local club cyclists.

We are pleased to announce that High 5 are once again our fuelling partners,  we will also have Chris Meads a professional photographer and keen local cyclist taking pictures.

The Route
We have tweeked the routes once again keeping the best bits, and adding some new sections just to keep it interesting.

The first part of the course is fast and flat across the Chesire plains skirting past the famous Jodrell Bank Radio telescope. Towards the end of the ride it gets a little lumpy there are a few small climbs, on the 50 mile route and 80 mile routes riders also have to tackle the Pott Shrigley climb which a steady gradient up past the village and golf course, a little sting in the tail.

The event is an ideal warm up for riders doing the Cheshire Cat and the Tour of Flanders Sportives a few weeks later.

We have all the features you would expect in a popular club sportive

This is a great team building exercise for corporate companies, its also so great for  charity groups , groups of friends , cycling and tri clubs. 
Tactics are entirely up to each team to decide.  The only rules are that each team must finish a minimum of four riders. The time of the team is taken  when the fourth rider crosses the finish line. Teams can compose of any number from 4 to 8 riders.
To enter as a team, enter the event as normal through the SI Entries website. Decide on a team leader, the team leader needs to email the organisation with a list if the riders in the team.
