British Cycling launches Travel Club for members with Sportive Breaks
Cycling's governing body in the UK partners with travel specialists Sportive Breaks to give members offers on gran fondo and cyclo-sportive events

Members of British Cycling will soon have access to "unrivalled member-only rates, incentives and competitions" for sportives across Europe, thanks to the governing body's new partnership with travel specialists Sportive Breaks, announced on Tuesday.
BC has launched the British Cycling Travel Club, which will give members an easy way to find the best deals for cycling travel, with Sportive Breaks.
The Club will also give opportunities for members to travel to BC-endorsed training camps, as well as spectator experiences at races including the Tour de France and Giro d’Italia.
The elite part of BC, the Great Britain Cycling Team, will also benefit from a new partnership with Destination Sport Travel, which will sort its travel logistics out.
Darren Henry, British Cycling's commercial director, said in a press release on Tuesday that the signing of the agreement with Sportive Breaks was an "example of our work to reward our loyal members and strengthen our membership offering".
"The partnership with Sportive Breaks is another example of our work to reward our loyal members and strengthen our membership offering," the statement reads. "The exclusive British Cycling Travel Club gives our members access to some of the best discounts on the market, while also connecting with other members to enhance the British Cycling community.
“Sportive Breaks and Destination Sport Travel join a growing family of commercial partners that enables British Cycling to invest in the grassroots of the sport and support our Great Britain Cycling Team riders to compete for medals across the world.”
