Otley Sportive (2013)

Cycle Sportive , Otley – Saturday, 14 Sep 2013

Event Summary

Event Overview

The Otley Sportive will return with three rides on the 14th September 2013.

  • Short (12 miles)
  • Medium (40 miles)
  • Long (70 miles)

The short ride head along the River Wharfe from Otley to Ilkley and back.

The medium and long rides head into the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Climb up the valley and you will be rewarded with some of the most beautiful countryside Yorkshire has to offer. 

For 2013 the Medium ride will be more balanced than 2012 - less climbing and slightly more miles really makes this ride a good all-rounder.

And the Long route will have changes too - a change of route to allow the regulars a change of scenary.  Hitting around the 70 mile mark with some great climbs to challenge each of our riders.  However a real ride not to be missed!

For all our rides we will ensure they have great signage, feedstops and support vehicles.


The event has a personality that really invites and welcomes all riders of all abilities to get on their bike and ride with wonderful people. The ride is about having fun, and not about egos. Finishing
the ride with tea, coffee and cake allows all the riders to come together and share their experience. So come along and join this young event which is growing in reputation.
