Event overview

Starting at Land’s End, you will cross Cornwall & then onto Dartmoor, before experiencing the amazing but brutal Jurassic coast and the glorious gravel of the New Forest. With a finish on the Kent Coast at Rochester, you will head east via parts of the South and North Downs Way. Be under no illusions though, this is one seriously tough event, especially as night riding will feature. But the long days of May allow for some epic views along the way The Epic ride will be for you if you relish riding through the night, napping in hedges or riding through some nights. For those that enjoy more sleep, and maybe a comfy bed, then the Challenge event will be for you.

This event is part of The Southern Divide.

Cut out sugar & junk food, reduce carbs, eat natural foods and train your body to burn fat for fuel.

Get outdoors

Fresh air, natural light and reconnecting with nature all help to improve mental and physical wellbeing.
