Pedal Suffolk Sportive
Come and enjoy a tour of the heartlands of Suffolk from the spacious arena at Trinity Park, Ipswich ideally situated just off the A14 and A12. There are no dual carriageways s or highways on this tour of Suffolk however, as we head out of our private rear gate and meander through some of its quieter and less trodden paths and villages en-route to clocking up to 100 miles.
A very warm welcome awaits you at our event village which is shared (just like the fully signposted routes) with our PedalRetro enthusiasts on classic pre-2000 machines. Whichever ride you enter, we are with you every step of way with fully signposted routes that we have ridden and risk accessed ourselves, the peace of mind mechanical support from the experts at Pedal Revolution, fully inclusive drinks and lunch stops with our enthusiastic team plus our extraordinary bespoke medals and free souvenir medals.
There will also be plenty to see and admire around the event village in this augural Pedal Suffolk gathering and you feedback is warmly encouraged to help us create a new 2 or 3 day event with onsite camping and entertainment for next year as together we make Pedal Suffolk a regular calendar highlight.
