OUR SUMMER SPORTIVENING
Join us at PAU Cafe on Sunday 12th July for our first Sportivening of 2026! Registration from 5:30PM, aiming to be on the road by 6PM.
The PAU Summer Sportivening is an cycling event built around one simple idea: Let’s get more people riding together.
Riders roll out from the cobbled area outside PAU and into the Staffordshire countryside, following a fully signed route designed to flow, settle into a rhythm, and be genuinely enjoyable to ride. Along the way there’s a mid-ride refreshment stop to regroup and refuel, before heading back to PAU Café for a well-earned drink and a relaxed finish.
This is not a race. It’s a structured, supported evening ride with a community feel — designed for riders who want something challenging, but accessible and enjoyable.

EXPLORE THE ROUTE
We’ve spent the summer exploring the local roads on our weekly midweek rides, picking out some of our favourite lanes, climbs and countryside stretches. The result is a flowing 57.7km route that showcases some of the best riding Staffordshire has to offer, and we can’t wait to share it with you.
