2010 is proving to be a great year for South African sports fans, with the eyes of the world on the country as it hosts the Fifa World Cup. For cycling fans, it is equally exciting, as the South African presence at the Tour de France is once again guaranteed to keep a nation glued to the TV for the month of July. South Africa is also the home of a series of "funrides", attracting upto 35,000 participants, previously including names such as Lance Armstrong.

Cyclosport.org is the only comprehensive sportive events calendar. It allows you to view crucial event information all in one place and members have been able to add events to their own personalised calendar and plan their seasons in advance. Because our calendar is so comprehensive, we want being able to find accessible events as easy as possible so we've introduced a brand new postcode search. From now on, you'll be able to enter in your home postcode and find all the events in close proximity; you can do this from the menu bar on our home and events pages.

You can search all events for courses of a certain distance. Very handy if you are a beginner to find short courses. Handy for the less fit riders to select the right distance for them. Handy for the experienced sportive madman to find the really hard ones. Most events have all the courses and amount of climbing recorded. We are working to make this the most comprehensive list available world wide.

If you need assistance in getting entry form or medical certificates signed, we have a comprehensive service valid for 12 months for all cycling events worldwide.

In order to access all the great features and benefits of Cyclosport.org, we need to know who you are!

Many cyclosportive events attract a wide range of riders, from dedicated racing cyclists to leisure cyclists wanting a challenging ride, and allows them to test themselves over a race-proven route.

GPS data is fast becoming a standard aid for cyclosportive riders to train, pre-view and aid them participating in cyclosportive events.

Over the past 5 years since Cyclosport.org's creation, there has been an overwhelming increase in popularity of cyclosportives in the United Kingdom, over more traditional cycling. The sportive "model", inherited from European roots, has quite literally "evolved", around the outstanding area's of Natural Beauty in the UK and support of worthy charitable causes on the whole.
