As founders of this iconic event back in 1997, The Chiltern 100 is returning this year on Sunday 5th July, but with a difference!

 

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!'

The entry fee includes:

• A £5 voucher for use at the finish with any food or drink vendor at the Fete du Velo on the Redbourn Common

Ensure you secure your place in The Chiltern 100, which represents a true test of your cycling proficiency whatever route you choose! Be quick as places are limited to 200 riders.

 

The challenging landscape of The Chilterns means that both routes are as testing as they are stunning, taking in infamous climbs (dependent on route chosen) such as Bison Hill, Dunstable Downs, Whiteleaf and Wardrobes!
