Event information
Cannock Chase: 80km, 1,000m
The route starts in the heart of Cannock Chase for an action packed first 25km on the gravel. Riding through the woods, the trails are quick and smooth on rolling terrain including a couple of punchy climbs.
Out of the woods we head north to historic Stafford and ride around the outskirts of town before hitting the old railway line that now makes up the Stafford to Newport Greenway. The final 25km is quick before a final off road climb as we come back into Cannock Chase for a well earned beer & some food.
