WHY RIDE WITH TPR EVENTS
Thoughtfully organised events that feel every bit as good as the route itself.
From the first signpost to the finish line, all TPR events are built around inclusivity, quality, atmosphere, value for money and the kind of details riders actually notice on the day.
Properly signed routes
Clear, well-planned routes shaped by local knowledge, so you can focus on the ride rather than second-guessing every turn.
Food, drink & rider support
Well-stocked stops, friendly volunteers, and mechanical support out on the route to keep you fuelled and moving.
Memories worth keeping
Bespoke medals, rider plaques, event photography and those little finishing touches that make the day feel special. Also, courtesy of our friends at Adnams, all riders receive a FREE can of Adnams too!
Great venues and locations
From iconic start locations to scenic countryside routes, the setting is always part of what makes the experience memorable.
Family-run, rider-led
We ride the routes ourselves and care about the details. That hands-on approach creates a genuinely welcoming, rider-first atmosphere.
Not-for-profit, community focused
Every entry helps fund future events and local cycling initiatives, keeping the focus on riders, not shareholders.
Built by riders, backed by volunteers, and designed to leave you already thinking about the next one.
tpr fair pricing
As a long-standing, family-run Community Interest Company, we pride ourselves on delivering not just a great event day experience, but exceptional value for money. Unlike many, we don’t charge admin fees, hydration and feed stops are included, event photography is free, and our medals are always bespoke to each event and year.
We do everything we can to protect you from rising venue and running costs, which is why we’ve kept almost all events at 2025 prices when you enter using our Early-Bird Discount (available up to 6 weeks before the event). At this point we commit to ordering medals and consumables, and all remaining entries will increase by £2.
We don’t offer entries on the day if an event sells out, and we never oversell, so please enter early, secure your place, and help us make this the best event yet for both you and us.

The Tour de Broads Winter Series is a collection of road cycling sportives designed to increase your mileage, fitness and winter cycling happiness at the darkest time of the year. It can be hard to find the motivation in the winter so let us inspire you off your sofa or indoor trainer and out onto the lanes of Norfolk to enjoy the much needed boost of a fully signposted and supported ride surrounded by like-minded riders.
Entry is for the series of 3 events and, as usual, our Winter Series also has a uniquely designed set of interlocking medals that are not to be missed. We hope you love them as much as we do… Entry to individual rides will be last minute and subject to not being sold out.
Can’t make one event but really, really, really want to collect all three medals? No worries, ride another time and send us ride proof and we will post your medal!
With routes of 25 and 50 miles, there’s something for everyone, no matter your experience or bike type. Each route is fully signposted, risk-assessed, and supported by the friendly TPR Events team.
Together we can beat the winter cycling blues!
ROUTES
At TPR Events, we’re dedicated to creating the best routes for riders to enjoy.

GPX files will be available a few days before the event, after our final checks for road closures and obstructions.
