Chiltern 100

"The original ride in The Chilterns"

Road or Gravel... you decide!

It's not a Sportive, so no signage and no feed stations! Instead a self-supported ride - a pure test of your endurance and self-sufficiency, but routed through the villages to ensure refreshment stops are available. This is not an introductory ride, it's a tough challenge expected to appeal to regular club riders with experience and plenty of miles in their legs, retaining its reputation as 'one of the hardest rides near to London!'

VCC Members

Club Chiltern 100 - Sunday 21st June!

In order that you can help us at the Fete du Velo and still ride the Chiltern 100 we're running a Club Chiltern 100 (members only) on Sunday 21st June. From Redbourn back to Redbourn, so the same routes, same challenge! All VCC Members who do the Club Chiltern 100 on Sunday 21st July instead of riding it on Sunday 5th July and help at the Fete du Velo will get a £10 reward voucher for food and drink at the Fete du Velo. Entrants on Sunday 5th July on get a £5 voucher, so you know it makes sense! All finishers of either version will get the official medal. Please do the Club Chiltern 100 and help us with the Fete du Velo. Sign up to help here. Sign up to Club Chiltern 100 here.
