Leaving at 6.30am, the 125 mile route will take in many parts of the Nottinghamshire countryside and with four category climbs along the way it is not for the faint hearted. Nik Emmonds, Event Director at Cycle Live Nottingham, said;

“There was a fantastic atmosphere as The Sheriff set off this year despite the early hour and we wanted to make The Sheriff even bigger in some way – so we have increased the entries from 100 to 250 places.

“The ride sold out incredibly quickly last year so make sure to sign up early to avoid disappointment – see you at the start line!”

Participants must be capable of completing the distance within the allocated time of 10 hours and must be over 18 years of age. Places for The Sheriff are open but limited to 250 places.
