Owing to the COVID pandemic the Women's CiCLE Classic in 2021 forms the first event in British Cycling's Women's National RR series for 2021. Possibly the hardest parcours of any Women's event in the UK, the 105 kms course takes riders on a circuitous route around the lanes and rough tracks of East Leicestershire, after a start from the centre of Melton Mowbray, wehere the race returns for its finish, but not before passing through the finish line 17 kms earlier to contest a sprint for what else than the biggest Pork Pie you have seen in your life.The list of winners of the four previous editions of the race features no less than three former or present World or Olympic champions giving an indication of the ability required to take the mighty £1000 first prize on offer to the winner.

Info for Riders

This year's race, postponed from 2020, will be compliant with all required COVID protocols and the safety of both competitors, their helpers and spectators will be paramount. Nevertheless the race and the course it covers will remain loyal to its character as 'Britain's only real Belgian Classic' style race, thus providing an experience like no other within the UK.
