A record 35-team field — the largest in the race’s history — lines up in Oakham on Sunday 26 April for the 20th Rutland–Melton CiCLE Classic and the opening round of the open Rapha Super-League.
A race that keeps reinventing itself – even after 20 years – and an organiser unafraid to call out British Cycling’. With new a 2026 sector and a bold critique of the system, CiCLE proves again why it stands alone.
A race that stands alone: Britain’s only UCI 1.2 one-day event delivered one its most complete editions yet – a reminder of what ambition, community and continued innovation can achieve.
