Audax/sportives, general cycling events?

[clonmult]

For the past few months I've been doing a few minor sporting events, 5k then a 10k run, and on Sunday the Basingstoke Big Wheel (52 miles on the bike).

The 52 mile bike ride really got me back into loving cycling, and now I'm at a loose end wondering what I'll be doing as my next challenge/event.

Are there any websites that cover any cycling (or running) event calendars - I'm nowhere near fast enough to be entering a competition, and am only riding on a hybird.

Running events are well covered in Runners World - either the mag or the online version

Cycling events - have a looking in cycling weekly

www.runnersworld.co.uk has a good events calendar (for running obviously). For cycling events I'd look at the big cycling magazine websites.
