The Lincoln GP Weekend - a Cycling Extravaganza!

You will have the chance to enjoy a weekend-long cycling extravaganza when the Lincoln once again plays host to both the Lincoln GP Sportive followed by the Rapha Lincoln GP the following day.

Enter our biggest sportive of the year that features a closed road finish then stay over and watch the Pro’s race up the famous climb of Michaelgate multiple times on Sunday whilst enjoying the fantastic city of Lincoln.

Choose from three routes through quiet picturesque lanes in the challenging Lincolnshire Wolds. The shortest routes take in less of the hills of the Wolds and are perfectly suited to those new to cyclo-sportives whilst at just over 100 miles, the long route is a real test as the Wolds start to take their toll as the ride goes one!

The icing on the cake for your ride is the closed road cobbled climb of Michaelgate. After a long ride in the tough hills of the Lincolnshire Wolds, this is the final test before finishing in Castle Square at the bottom of the imposing Lincoln Cathedral. You may just get t enjoy the leg burn that the Pro’s will get when they race up it the next day!

As with all our events, we serve up some great food once you are back at the HQ with your finishers medal - and provide first class support the whole way throughout your ride with mechanical & medical back-up, great feed stations - and of course provide you with your time from our chip timing partners even before you are eating your food! And even before you depart you are welcome to grab a complimentary top-quality coffee from our partner, Rapha.

The Pro race the next day is a great spectacle and 2023 will be the 68th edition! The Rapha Lincoln GP is the longest standing, and arguably most prestigious race on the domestic calendar.
