Leading though the Buckinghamshire countryside, into the Chilterns and back across the Aylesbury Vale the Howler is a beautiful ride taking in some quiet roads and lively climbs.

Having been inspired by the Tour of Britain, this year we have made a subtle change to include the challenge of Kop Hill which featured in stage six.

Both routes lead riders in a figure of eight giving the choice to either return back to the start at the 50 mile point or carry on.

The Howler is fully supported with well stocked food stations (including our legendary pasta pancake for those without sweet tooth), and a broom wagon in case you break down.
