About the Event

Info for Riders

This unique ride will see riders traverse Suffolk, setting off from St Elizabeth Hospice HQ in Ipswich and heading east towards the coast, and then after checking-in at the Felixstowe Shop, the ride will take you north, cross-country to Woodbridge & then onwards to Wickham Market, before heading east again to the lovely seaside town of Aldeburgh. 

After checking-in at Aldeburgh, we head north again, hugging the coast to Thorpeness, a little inland to Leiston before heading back to the coast for the final time at Southwold. We then head West across to Halesworth, and then comes the long road towards the finish via your penultimate check-in at Framlingham and then back to Ipswich to revel in your success, having conquered the Shop Hop!.
