Event overview

Take the road less travelled between Land’s End and London. Pass through World Heritage sites, National Parks and AONB’s. By road, what is really meant is ancient byways, mining trails, woodlands, coastal cliff tops, national trails and a bit of single-track, all joined together with a few bits of tarmac. Around 670km of roads and mixed terrain trails with 8.850 metres of climbing. You will ride from one side of the country to the other. A Southern Divide from the Atlantic to the Kent Coast. There are two ride options for you to choose. 

  • The Challenge pace – 86 hrs
  • The Tourist pace – 134 hrs


It’s a huge challenge. You will need to be self sufficient. It will be beautiful. It will be an amazing adventure. Dotwatcher commentary for family and friends.
