Organiser's Description

The Trent Valley 100 is one awesome way to finish your sportive season. The 100 miler circumnavigates Lincoln and takes riders into the Lincolnshire Wolds for some hill climbs before returning to HQ.

Medals & Merchandise

At Sportive HQ, we never felt that medals and merchandise was necessary, just great quality rides at the right price but some people always said they would like a medal or something to remember the day with so we added these as options.

Our principal on this is not to charge a high price and give people free merchandise that they didn’t always want but to give you guys the choice.

So when you enter, you get to choose either the straight forward great value ride, or add a Medal, Giraffe Headwear, a tech t-shirt, a mug, a cycling jersey or the VIP Pack that includes medal, Giraffe Headwear and the Tech T-Shirt.

All of the merchandise is of the highest quality, like our rides and stuff that we ourselves use every day. The Giraffe Headwear is great in hot or cold weather, the tech t-shirts are what I use when on the turbo and the D2D Cycling Jerseys are what I ride in every day.

This choose what you want policy is what has helped up achieve our zero waste policy helping us to be an environmentally friendly company.
