New for 2018, the ride follows two challenging routes, one is 110km (68 miles) the other 79km (49 miles), designed to take you out along familiar local roads and hills! Based on the Chiltern Classics, this is your chance to get an early season, no-stop ride under your belt, riding with your co VCC members on a late winter run organised like a Reliability Ride..
We use this ride along with the V100 (Summer 100 mile min-Sportive) as an opportunity to raise money for the Herts Air Ambulance.
Riders are welcome to organise themselves into usual club run groups, with nominated leaders. Departure at 9.00am, refreshments will be served from mid-day to 3.00pm at Redbourn Recreation Centre.
The updated routes are available here, 110k (68 miles) – climbing 1,268m, highlights – Wigginton, Whiteleaf, Frith Hill and finally Dodds Lane and here, 79k (49 miles) – climbing 849m, highlights – Wigginton, The Crong and Dodds Lane.
