50km cycling event starting from Maidenhead, Riverside Gardens. Controls at , plus 2 information controls. Entry on the day at £6 for members of AUK or CTC, £8 for others. Bring exact change please and check availability here nearer the date.
A ride mainly on quiet lanes, looping around Maidenhead, across the Thames and taking in some easier bits of the Chilterns. There is a gentle climb through Warren Row and a ride up the beautiful Hambleden valley after crossing the weir. The only steep climb is after Marlow: Winter's Hill with its hairpin bend. An optional break is at Velolife at around the 17km mark. The ride is suitable for children 8+ who are keen. Limited parking at the venue - it's cheaper to carry on along the Thames 700m North. If you intend coming by train check first as engineering works could impact your journey. There is extra information on the ride including routesheet and GPS options on the ride's website.
There is no control en-route for refreshments, but a cafe called Velolife at 17K and several places in the busy town of Marlow, at 40k, offer them.
