Sunday 28 June 2009
Online registration is now closed for the 2008 event but places are available on the day.
New for 2008, the Chiltern Challenge 100 bike ride will be a stunning ride through the Chiltern hills. Cyclists will have a choice of 2 circular routes.
The first route of 100 miles will lead the rider through some of the most picturesque countryside in the UK. The shorter second route of 100km (62.5 miles) is easier for the more novice or less ambitious rider.
Whichever route you choose, you can expect a great day out. Both routes are well signposted with regular check points and refreshments. There will be mechanical and first aid support throughout.
