LOCATION: COGENHOE FOOTBALL CLUB, NN7 1ND Introduction The Quattro Cyclosportive April 3 rd 2016 50miles 62 miles 84 miles Welcome to the fourth Quattro Cyclosportive. There will again be 3 routes available in 2016. The routes will stay the same as 2015, starting and finishing in the village of Cogenhoe. Cycle the piccolo (50miles), the Medio (63 miles) or Gran Fondo (84 miles) - the choice is yours. This is not an extreme course, but takes in some great cycling roads and countryside and is a great way to start off your 2016 Sportive season or prepare for some longer distance triathlons. The inspiration for the name comes from the fact that cyclists will be travelling through 4 counties during the longest course; Northants, Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire. These are the routes we use a lot during our own training, so we are pleased to be able to share them with you in the Quattro. Everyone who successfully completes their distance will get a Just Racing technical t shirt at the finish line. If you have questions prior to the event please contact us on: 01933 353 216 or by email to: info@justracinguk.com Registration The signing on for all routes will take place on Sunday 3 rd April from 7.45am. You will be required to confirm your route choice (50m, 62m or 84m) at this time. On the day entries are available and will carry an additional 5 charge. All riders will receive their route card, a bike number (to be attached to the front of the bike) a helmet label (to be attached to the front of your helmet). Additionally, you will receive some emergency phone numbers. 1
