CiCLE Classic Start Delayed Due to Flooding, Organisers Plan New Route Oakham Rutland 2024 start line

The much-anticipated 18th edition of the Rutland-Melton CiCLE Classic, Britain's only UCI international one-day race for men, was sadly cancelled today due to severe flooding in Rutland and Leicestershire villages.

The race, scheduled for today, April 28th, 2024, was set to see over 170 riders tackle the challenging 185km route across the picturesque countryside. With cyclists like Joe Blackmore, who has dominated the continental scene this year, registered to compete, the event promised to be an exciting display of athleticism.

However, heavy rains in recent days caused rivers to burst their banks, flooding villages along the planned course. Race organisers, prioritizing the safety of riders and spectators alike, made the difficult decision to cancel the event.

“We are incredibly disappointed to have to call off the race,” said Race Director Colin Clews. “We understand this is frustrating news for riders, spectators, and everyone involved in the event. However, the safety of everyone is our top concern, and the current conditions simply wouldn't allow for a safe race.”

Organisers are currently exploring options for rescheduling the race later in the season. They will provide updates on their website and social media channels.
