Roads, fire-roads and canal towpaths. The route is a a single loop that, at it's furthest, will take you approx 20 miles from the Milford start point.

Staggered Starts Times:

  • 9.00 - 9.30am - I'm just aiming to get round

  • 9.30 - 10.00am - I'll push on but I'm not fast.

  • 10.00 - 10.30am - Show me the Strava Segments!


Please make sure you book your place so we can plan for the post ride catering. It'd be rubbish if you couldn't get any refreshments afterwards because we weren't expecting you.
