RIDESTAFFS Staffordshire Cycling Festival – Newcastle under Lyme – August 2019
Staffordshire Cycling Festival is a sportive with a new home.
Our original sportive event, Staffordshire Cycling has had a home in and around Stafford since its inception over half a decade ago. So we’re excited to be heading somewhere totally new in 2019 as we relocate to Newcastle Under Lyme for the next 2 years.
Being in a new venue means we’re able to take you to a few places that RideStaffs sportives haven’t been in the past, it’s also inspired us to offer you a the longest sportive route in the history of RideStaffs, with the long route topping 78miles, 10 more than our previous longest ride.
Check out the routes, round up your buddies and start looking forward to the most important date on the Staffordshire Cycling Calendar:
These are the Staffordshire Cycling Festival 2019 sportives.
The Routes:
Choose from 38 or 78 miles according to your ambition and fitness. Both routes are testing and we’ve uncovered some great climbs along the way that you’ll be proud to have scaled. Whichever route you choose, your ride will begin with a climb and end with a descent as share the road to Keele as the bookends of the route.
You can use the plug in from RideWithGPS on this page to look at the route in detail. If you have questions about the route, you’re very welcome to get in touch via the contact form on the website, we respond to all the messages we get there.

You'd need some good wet weather gear for that ride too.
