Back for its second year, Ridge returns to the rolling hills and hidden trails of the Chilterns… and this time it’s bigger, better, and just as gritty.
Whether you’re chasing gravel or gliding on tarmac, this late-season ride is tough enough to test you and fun enough to keep you smiling.
The routes take in some of the best gravel and road riding the Chilterns has to offer - from fast ridgelines and short, sharp climbs to quiet lanes and well-worn tracks.
The rides are self-guided, with everything starting and finishing at Church Farm Café, where Suave Foods will be serving up a well-earned, delicious post-ride BBQ.
If you're travelling in for the event and need somewhere to stay, we've put together a list of local hotels and camping options to make planning easy.
Whether you're in it for the stunning routes, the outstanding food, or just a day out on two wheels, Ridge brings people together around a shared love of cycling. Make sure to grab your ticket early and get the date in your diary!
Download the route, prep your kit, and we’ll see you on the start line in Aldbury this September!
