The second Dean Forest Views 100-kilometre sportive takes place on Sunday 28 September from the market town of Newent, Gloucestershire.

The route takes in the picturesque Wye Valley and the hills of the Forest of Dean. There are no less than eight featured climbs including the toughest, Howle Hill, in which riders gain almost 200 metres of elevation and is 18% at its steepest.

This is AJB Sports Event’s fifth sportive event and the route is on quiet country roads with tough climbs and rewarding sweeping descents. It has been designed by an experienced cyclist who has spent his life training in this beautiful area. This event will be a great way to round off your sportive season.

At £20 this sportive provides excellent value for money with a well-stocked feed station half way round the extensively signed route, so make sure you enter before the closing date on 22 September to receive your GPX link before the day.
