The Sulley Rides Sunday 16th March 2025

Group of people riding

Leicestershire and Rutland Cyclists' Touring Club presents the 34th running of the Sulley Rides. 30/50/70/100 km distances.

This event is held in the memory of David and Doreen Sulley, CTC / Cycling UK members and the originators of the event. The annual Sulley Rides are traditional ‘reliability rides’ where participants aim to complete their chosen distance within the time limit. The rides are not a ‘sportive’ or a race. The challenge is for riders to be self-supported and self-reliant and to navigate the route using the route sheets provided at the start and their own print or digital maps (gpx files available for download on the Routes page). There is a choice of four routes to suit all riders; an easy and mostly flat 30 km route, scenic 50 km and 70 km routes, and a more challenging 100 km route. The routes mostly follow quiet lanes and roads through lovely countryside. The rides are open to all and are a perfect way to start the spring after a long winter! This year’s event is on Sunday 16th March.  Click here for FULL details and all the route maps.

The rides are organised by Leicestershire & Rutland CTC, a Cycling UK group. The start and finish are at Lutterworth Town Hall, High Street, Lutterworth LE17 4AT, where refreshments will be provided all day. Click here for map. Toilets are available at the Hall. There is free parking on Sundays just off Station Road very close to the Town Hall but please DO NOT USE MORRISONS' CAR PARK.
