Welcome to the website of The Wyre Forest Stinger Sportive
The Wyre Forest Stinger Sportives are the first Sportive promotion by North Worcestershire's premier cycling club, Wyre Forest Cycle Racing Club.
Sponsors for the event are yet to be confirmed.
We've billed our event as the Family Sportive as we think Stourport-on-Severn is not just a great base for our event but has great attractions for families
too.

Routes ** Note the 2009 route has been changed. Directions, Maps & GPS Downloads are now available.
The event will feature 3 routes for riders to tackle.
The Family Ride at 28km is aimed at the less fit, fun riders who may have family riding the longer routes but want to have a go
themselves. Includes the feed station at Holt Heath.
The Mini-Stinger at 113km is not as hard as the full sportive in terms of distance but still represents a challenge to those that
undertake it, and includes the notorious Stinger Section.
The Stinger is the full 169km route, so called because the early part of the ride is relatively flat but you can expect
a real sting in the tail at the end of the ride. We have found you some of the best roads the
Worcestershire countryside has to offer..
