Event Summary

Event Overview

This year we have three route options, 100km, 100miles and a new 30 mile route. All three routes start from One Leisure St Neots and head across the River Ouse via the traffic free Willow Bridge. From there you head west into the Bedfordshire Wolds. Before the first of our stunningly well stocked feed stations the routes split. The 100 milers continue north for a jaunt through the gently rolling lanes of west Huntingdonshire. The routes then head south through Bedfordshire then turn west, the 30 milers for home and the rest for South Cambridgeshire. The longer route riders may want to stock up at the Wilden feed station before tackling the steep slog up Everton Hill! Now in South Cambridgshire the roads are flatish until small but steep Croydon Hill, but it is worth it for the gorgeous ride through the Hatleys. A few more charming villages later and you're back in St Neots.  

The roads are generally well maintained and quiet. The terrain is mostly gently rolling, but be warned there are a couple of short and sharp climbs that warrant a graded road sign!

All in all it is an ideal ride for winding down before the winter sets in.

Finally, this year we will be running the in event in aid of Orchid the male cancer charity, http://www.orchid-cancer.org.uk/
