Evans have announced their 2012 Classic and Challenge RideIt! Series dates, with 42 events spread across 24 weekends to keep sportive riders in the saddle year round.
Each classic RideIt! event combines an organised mountain bike ride on the Saturday, followed by a road sportive on the Sunday, with both offering a variety of ride distances.
The series kicks off in Chieveley, West Berkshire, on January 21-22 and finishes 11 months later in Cliddesden, Hampshire, on November 17-18.
Each event will have Garmin GPS units for hire, free High5 nutrition products, Osprey sample backpacks for mountain bike riders and Gore Bike Wear sample clothing to try.
Next year also sees the return of two challenge events, with the King of the Downs on May 27 and the King of the Pennines and August 19.
The King of the Downs features ten climbs over the 113-mile distance while its northern sister, the King of the Pennines, packs in more than 3,350m of climbing over the 101-mile route. If you book both, Evans will give you free entry to any other 2012 RideIt! event.
