Can a pandemic stop our wheels from rolling? Of course not! Cycle for Cransley – Kettering’s only cycling sportive – is going VIRTUAL to bring you all of the excitement of our classic event in a covid-safe way.
Thanks to our fantastic event partners C&D Cycles, we will still be sharing four exhilarating and picturesque routes through the rolling Northamptonshire countryside, some of which will start and end at the Kettering Rugby Club, others will be from alternative locations in North Northamptonshire. Or why not plan your own route from your doorstep? Last year’s BIG CYCLE saw participants joining in the fun from around the globe!
By popular demand, we’ll be bringing back the ‘Cransley Family-Fun Spin’, at a maximum of 10-miles, the ‘Cransley Cruise’ at a manageable 25-miles, the challenging ‘Fun-Filled Fifty’ (at 50-miles!) and for the elite amongst us, the thrilling ‘Cransley Fondo,’ a 63-mile (100km) extravaganza.
All cycle participants will be able to join our Cycling Club on Strava, to share their routes and to get support from the Cycle for Cransley community in the run up to the big day and virtually cheer each other on as rides are completed!
And while you’re putting in all this effort, get your friends and family to show their support! Event sponsorship ensures our hospice can continue to care. What’s more, if you raise £250 you can get your hands on our ALL NEW ‘Cycle for Cransley’ cycle jersey!
A huge THANK YOU to our headline sponsors Tollers Solicitors and KLM Taxi for making this happen.

I'm more interested in the Sonder with a "97mm" wheelbase...might have some toe overlap 😂
Possibly some marketeers for whom "getting attention" is the only good, likely company director(s) who also see "no such thing as bad publicity"?...
Agreed. Use Evo Zero and the transition is pretty quick.
Obviously a Lancashire Constabulary outstation, where they train the police up for getting all reports into the bin as quickly as possible...
