The Crafted Classique returns on Saturday 12th August for the 4th year running, sponsored by digital agency Crafted and in association with British Cycling.

Continuing to build on the past 3 years' success, the Crafted Classique blends beautiful surroundings with a selection of exciting routes suitable for all abilities, quality local produce and a relaxed, family friendly atmosphere.
