My friend's son is trying to raise sponsorship for a build a something or other in the middle of nowhere before his a levels.
He's thinking of getting sponsorship to do a ~50k road ride. Yes I know is not much to you cycling gods but to a novice its fairly daunting.
Anyone know of a sportive or similar nr wiltshire that a very inexperienced 15 year old can do on a moutain/hybrid without everyone getting huffy?
As he's only 15 I guess I'll have to do it with him and DROP HIM ON THE FIRST CLIMB AND SHOW NO MERCY HA HA HA!!! no not really, i'll just pootle round.

Lots of well-organised events of varying distances around the country here:
They are marshalled and signed so no navigating required either.
