Autumn Classic Sportive

Sunday 19th August 2025

Middlesbrough Veledrome

---------------------------------

In partnership with NE Cycling CIC, we’re proud to bring you a sportive with a nod to the legendary Paris-Roubaix.

This event is a celebration of the incredible cycling talent emerging from the Teesside area. One shining example is local rider Matthew Brennan, who has broken onto the world stage and now rides for Visma Lease a Bike. His success highlights the level of talent developing at grassroots level and the role Middlesbrough Velodrome can play in inspiring the next generation.

NE Cycling CIC and UPrevail Events are marking this moment by giving back to the cycling community through this special sportive.

We’ve got two stunning routes that take in the best of the North Yorkshire Moors and surrounding countryside.

Short Route – approx. 45 miles / 70km

Long Route – approx. 70 miles / 112km for those wanting a bigger challenge

Both routes will finish in style with a flying lap of the velodrome and a proper finish under the event arch.

But that’s not all — back at event HQ, NE Cycling CIC will be running taster sessions and family-friendly cycling activities while riders are out on the course.

£5 from every entry goes directly to the NE Cycling CIC Velodrome Fund, helping support the growth of cycling and ongoing maintenance of the facility.
