Welcome to the new home of the GORE BIKE WEAR Road Sportive Series 2009.

2008 saw the introduction of the GORE BIKE WEAR Road Sportives Series at four locations all over the country. The experienced team behind the Merida Bikes MTB Marathon Series set out to create mini cycle festivals by combining road sportives with mountain bike marathons. 2009 will see the progression from these first few steps into the world of road sportive and will present three rounds of the series including the ‘Extreme event’ at the Selkirk location in the middle of the summer.

The GORE BIKE WEAR Road Sportive events will be run alongside the Merida Bikes MTB Series offering a choice of 2-3 fantastic courses per location paired with 1st class facilities like bike wash, showers and toilets as well free parking + camping and a lively event village.
