Event overview

With 4 distances now available, including the addition of a fantastic 100 mile route, there is something for everyone! The Meon Valley and South Downs National Park have some of the best cycling routes in the South! All routes are fully marked and marshalled, with our renowned fully stocked aid stations and a fabulous bespoke medal. Amazing scenery awaits you round every turn, the only choice is……which distance? All routes start from Swanmore and head out towards Hampton Hill, Beacon Hill and Old Winchester Hill, where you can enjoy spectacular views across the beautiful rolling countryside. The medium, long and epic routes head up the renowned Butser Hill, lots of out-the-saddle climbing here but the sight of the sea and the panoramic views at the top make this totally worth it! You then head over to Rowlands Castle with the medium route looping back via South Harting and the long and epic routes heading on towards Glorious Goodwood, returning via the South Downs National Park.

This event is part of Beast to the East.
