Event Summary

Event Overview

Ride the rolling hills of the beautiful Meon Valley. There are 3 distances to choose from and each route is fully signposted with danger points marshalled for your safety. We will have a number of refreshment stations (feed stations) along the routes to keep your energy stores topped up and there will also be plenty of cake at the finish. We also have a couple of Masseusses on stand by waiting to treat your weary legs (suggested donation £5). Should you have a mechanical that we can't fix we will be available to bring you back to the start in our roaming "Autobus". Each of the 3 routes follow a similar path, the 25 mile loop heads North from Wickham towards Swanmore, West Meon and returns via Old Winchester Hill, Soberton and Soberton Heath. The 50 mile route heads to Killminston, Alresford, Bighton and Ropley then home via Old Winchester Hill. The Century ride extends beyond Alresford to Overton via Micheldever and Barton Stacey before returning home via Bighton, Ropley and Old Winchester Hill. This ride is in aid of Fit for Felix, a fundraising event to support the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance, Southampton Paediatric Intensive Care Unit and a rehab fund for local youth Triathlete Felix Barrow who was hit by a car on his way to school in October last year. Sportive Jerseys are available to purchase from just £22.50 - £30.00 go to www.fitforfelix.com to order, or you can buy one on the day.
