Stunning scenery and a joy to ride

The Go Beyond Charity Cyclo Sportive in conjunction with Hitchin Nomads and in association with the charity Teach Africa has 50 and 80 mile course options which have been highly acclaimed in previous years. Back for a third successive year in 2013.

This year we are again supported by Paul's Bikes, Hitchin.




The event builds on the course features of 2011 & 2012 which put paid to the rumours that there are no decent hills in East Anglia.
