Event overview

This area is steeped in history, and the route itself passes through picturesque Saxon villages, such as Rockbourne, which is home to an ancient Roman villa dating back to the Iron Age and the 5th century. Starting at Salisbury Racecourse in Wiltshire, all three routes guide you across county lines - into Dorset, then Hampshire, before looping back to Wiltshire. As you ride across the boundary between South-West and South-East England, you'll find yourself on free-flowing, rolling roads that are challenging enough to be fun, but won't overly punish your legs. This makes it the perfect chance to relax and truly enjoy your time on two wheels. This ride is an opportunity to get outdoors, rack up some quiet kilometres, and fully appreciate the charming countryside back roads that connect these sleepy rural villages. It’s about time well spent on your bike. Naturally, your efforts will be rewarded! As you cross the finish line, you'll receive a well-deserved finisher medal and other goodies from our partners. Our Classic Series is designed for all riders. With three non-technical routes to choose from, we warmly invite as many cyclists as possible to join us for this quintessential Classic cycling event.

4 steps to wellbeing
Sleep well

A good night's sleep is an essential foundation for a healthy lifestyle, effective training and weight control.

Train slow

Low-intensity training is easier for you, reduces the risk of injury and helps builds an efficient aerobic system.

Eat natural

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.
