To all entrants and friends of the RVC. As you will know from Government announcements, the 2020 RVC event has been postponed and is currently rescheduled for September 13^th 2020. We can defer entries to that date, or to the 2021 event which is currently scheduled for April 4^th. Like you, we are disappointed but we accept the position is most unusual and of course, way beyond our control.

As we have committed funds to gifts for this year, entries and already provided £2400 of funding to Mason Hollyman and Jordan Reed, both ex-KCA riders and now with Team Zappi and we committed funds to the Trust set up in memory of Daz Speight we hope you are all happy that this along with the ability to defer is acceptable. We have always avoided refunds and gone for a switch or defer strategy and this has always proved acceptable and so far the good wishes and acceptance of this position has been fantastic, thank you all.

We hope you are all ok, our prayers and best wishes are with all RVC friends, partners at Veloskin, Empire Brewing, Spen Valley High School, past and present and with your families, friends, neighbours and colleagues.

One thing we can probably say with certainty is, you cannot replace the RVC with a Zwift session, well, we would say that wouldn’t we…

Darren and the RVC team

If you are looking for a challenge, some fun, a value for money event that is run by cyclists for cyclists, then we are the event for you. We limit the event to 350 riders – this keeps it personal, manageable and costs under control. The feedback is, it is a unique event and we want to keep it that way.

Entry is via the British Cycling website.  We normally run the first Sunday in April and the event usually goes live on the BC website around October each year. The price for 2020 is £27 per rider; we don’t offer refunds as we have to commit expenses way before the event and we are looking to support riders – we are not a commercial venture. We do however allow you to come back another year for free.
