There is a short ride for beginners, and a longer route tailored for experienced riders seeking a more challenging journey.

The delight of both routes is that they showcase the scenic beauty of the local Northamptonshire countryside.

A team of dedicated volunteers will be stationed throughout the course to ensure the well-being of all participants.

There will be rest stops along the route offering refreshments, and a chance to recharge before continuing the ride.
