The final event of this year's Test Valley Tour is the hugely popular mountain bike Cool Challenge. The fully way marked route will feature all your favourite off road trails in glorious north west Hampshire including the much loved ‘Woods’ section where we have been hard at work making it even better than usual this year. You can choose to ride either the 45 or 30km routes. Final route maps and elevation profiles will be published on the web site a few days before the event, to allow for any last minute changes. Please also check the web site for any Final Instructions.
