Virgin Money Cyclone - Saturday June 20
A fixture of the north east cycling scene, the Virgin Money Cyclone has grown significantly in recent years, hosting the British National Championships in 2011, where Sir Bradley Wiggins won, and is now a UCI Europe Tour event.
The event’s sportive offers you the chance to follow in the wheel tracks of Wiggins and co, and take on the climb of the Ryals where Team Sky were so dominant back in 2011.
Part of a full weekend of activities, which also includes a ride out across the famous Tyne Bridges on the Friday and the pro races on the Sunday, the Cyclone Challenge sportives have three route options.
The 106-mile black route is the toughest, with eight significant climbs amounting to 7,789ft of climbing through the Northumberland countryside.
