Course Details

The Short route is ideal if you are new to Sportive, or you just want a nice easy ride, and it's also great for a family ride. Children 14 and under go free, as long as they are accompanied by a paying adult (One adult/one child per entry). 1 aid station.

The Medium route at just over 100k is a flat (ish) affair other than the Cheddar Gorge climb (long and steady). There are a few tests during the ride in the shape of some nice climbs that will need some effort. 2 aid stations.

The Long route isn't a leg burner, but it will include the iconic climb through Cheddar Gorge. There will be a cut off time for the safety of the riders and the sanity of the staff. 3 Aid stations.
