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… See one of our previous designs below 🙂
routes
At TPR Events, we’re dedicated to creating the best routes for riders to enjoy. Every route is carefully plotted, analysed, risk-assessed, tested, and fully signposted, giving you the confidence to ride with peace of mind.
Plus, all routes will be available to download as GPX files, providing turn-by-turn directions on your phone or GPS device. GPX files will be available a few days before the event, after our final checks for road closures and obstructions.
Ride support
We want you to enjoy the ride, whatever the winter weather brings. Our team will be on hand throughout the event, with route support from Echelon Cycleworks if you run into a mechanical problem. Take the route at your own pace, and know that help is there if you need it.
The Tour de Broads Winter Series is supported by Mark from Echelon Cycleworks. Mark will provide our riders with mechanical support and recovery, if you see him on the route or fixing someone on the roadside give him a wave!
Echelon Cycleworks is a Lowestoft based workshop that provides expert Bike Fit, Coaching & Workshop Services.
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.
