This year we invite you to take part in one of our five beautiful routes.
Our routes are designed to be challenging, but with distances of 40km, 60km, 90km, 130km and 160km to choose from, there is a route to appeal to all cycling abilities. We ask you, please, to select the route that is most appropriate for your level of fitness and experience.

All routes start and finish at Dean Close School:
At the start and out on our routes you will be offered support by local bike mechanics, in addition to our team of marshals and volunteers on the course located at refreshment stops and water stations, who will be there to cheer you round and keep you hydrated.
Routes remain subject to change due to highway maintenance and unforeseen circumstances out of the control of Sue Ryder Leckhampton Court Hospice.
