Wiggle and UK Cycling Events can announce that the Wiggle Super Series No Excuses Sportive has now sold out. Last year, tickets were snapped up in 6 weeks – this year they’ve sold out in a record time of just 7 days!

Martin Talbot, Director of Marketing at Wiggle, is thrilled by how keen the cycling community has been in the uptake for the Wiggle Super Series No Excuses Sportive

“It’s great that so many people want to get out and ride and it’s definitely a sign that sportives are a hugely popular way for people to enjoy time out on their bikes. This event is a win-win as entrants either ride for free or make a donation to charity. It’s a great way of spreading the cheer that cyclists are known for – even beyond the event itself.”

Martin Barden, Event Organiser at UK Cycling Events, is also buzzing with anticipation of the Wiggle Super Series No Excuses Sportive:

“It is great to see such a positive response to the first sportive in the 2012 calendar – this continues the overwhelming response we have received to the Wiggle Super Series in general in 2011. Riders clearly want to experience these events – the great atmosphere and routes really do leave entrants with huge smiles. The fact that so many people have signed up in such a short period of time for the Wiggle Super Series No Excuses Sportive means that we are able to help a worthy cause and get people out on their bikes. So we’d like to say a massive thank you to everybody that has entered!”

There will be no on the day entries but cyclists who haven’t been able to get a ticket are reminded that Wiggle Super Series events can be enjoyed throughout 2012.
