Organised by our experienced, friendly team, these are timed, choice of distance, fully supported, marked route mtb events run along quiet lanes, tracks, bridleways and woods singletrack in Hampshire and Wiltshire. All routes always include a particularly memorable section of swooping twisty singletrack through beech woods which just seems to go on for miles.
These are very popular, sociable events that offer something for everyone. Some riders like to push themselves, others like to ride with their family (U16s ride for FREE) whilst others just enjoy riding through the stunning scenery with their friends. You receive a FREE TORQ bar or gel when you sign in and there’s energy food and drink at the friendly water stops on the routes. All riders receive a finisher’s medal and the sublime on site catering available includes hot & cold food and drinks, homemade cakes, beer and a bbq. Full event details are here
