The world’s only Easter Monday cycling event, the Cotswold Spring Classic Sportive, gave riders in the United Kingdom the perfect way kickoff their spring season while also burning off all those extra Easter calories.
581 riders registered to ride, but due to continued rain leading up to event day, almost half of the field opted to stay home and enjoy a few more Cadbury chocolate Easter eggs. Those that did saddle up rode 55, 100 or 160 kilometer long routes through the beautiful rolling Cotswold countryside, with most opting for the 100km route.
Tom and Ben Hale were the fastest finishers on the 100km route, with Ben pipping Tom at the line to stop the clock at 3:17:49. Mark Sysum (6:11:59) was fastest from a very small 160km group, while Lee Russell (2:22:49) took top honors in the 55km event.
