Following on from the success of the Jodrell Bank Cyclosportive that we run in March which is the third most popular sportive event of the year according to CYCLOSPORT.ORG (May 2011) website just behind Cheshire Cat and Etape du Dales, we have decided to add a summer event. 

We have come up with two new longer routes which skirts around the famous Jodrell Bank Radio Telescope from which the event gets it's name. 

The event is organised by Team Torelli a North West based cycling club who promote Cycle Races and Cyclosportives throughout the season

We have got a 100 mile and 100km routes around the leafy Cheshire lanes. Good quality quiet roads, stunning scenery and very flat. Fast times will be the order of the day.
