Welcome to Black Rat Cycling
The Black Rat is a cyclosportive in Bristol. We have been running the event for 11 years and it is one of the most popular sportives in the south west.
The 2020 event has 3 distances of 87km, 120km and 181km, which takes riders over the highest road in Wales – Gospel Pass.

We also organise cycling trips each year. 2020 trips include the Pyrenees coast to coast, from the Mediterranean coast to Biarritz, a weekend trip to the Tour of Flanders in early April, a fantastic week discovering Northern Spain and a week in the Pyrenees, riding famous cols in September.
We also arrange bespoke trips for smaller groups.
