Most of the sportives offer a choice of Classic routes, at around 60-70 miles, or the more challenging Champion option at around 100 miles, and all apart from the Trossachs Ton and York 100 include a Cool route of some 40 miles.

The exception is Davina's Big Sussex Bike Ride, which offers the Cool 21-mile route, the 40-mile Classic and the Champion 68-mile option.

With the help of its supporters, Action Medical Research has played a significant role in many medical breakthroughs for more than 60 years, from the development of the first UK polio vaccines to the use of ultrasound in pregnancy. In addition to premature birth, it is currently funding research into meningitis, Down syndrome and epilepsy, as well as some rare and distressing conditions that severely affect children.

Entry to every event in the RIDE100 charity cycle series is £38, which includes chip timing, food and water stations, marshals and mechanics.
