The number of people participating in organised cycling events has skyrocketed going into 2010. The UK cycling community has a vast choice of events spanning the entire nation. These events all vary in style, difficulty, and length, each with their own unique twist. However, the basis is always the same – getting out on your bike and having fun!
The Evans Cycles Ride It! series of organised cycling events are great for novice riders starting out, or experienced riders looking for a challenge. With locations nationwide there really are no excuses to get out and Ride it!
Like for like the Evans Cycles Ride it! series entries are up 150% for Jan – Feb compared to this time last year. This is further bolstered by the King of the Downs entries which have hit 500 already. Spaces are limited at 1200 so best to get in early to be apart of the South East’s toughest sportive.

“With the amount of people getting on bikes its only natural that companies do everything they can to support this movement. We opened 4 new stores last year and have incorporated more Ride It! events so the cycling community in the UK always have a great event to look forward to.” says retail director at Evans Cycles, Mark Smith.
It’s not only the Evans Cycles events that are growing. Organised rides throughout the UK seem to be popping up everywhere. The boom of people buying new bikes has opened up fantastic opportunities for cyclists to get out and ride new routes and join a large cycling community. Cycling calendars are full up this year with an event on nearly every weekend.
“The feedback we have had from all types of people shows how great organised events are. Hassle free, exciting, and friendly are just some of the many words people are using to describe our Ride it! series. Furthermore, it’s a great day out for families with available routes for all abilities.” Mark adds.
