Tour of the Hopfields – Sunday 12 July 2020 **New Event**
Enter Tour of the Hopfields here

Our off-road sportives continue to be popular and MTBs are welcome, but you’re best on a gravel or cyclocross bike.

Tour of the Hopfields is 100km on byways, bridleways and lanes on the Kent edges of London, roughly where the M25/M26/M20 form a triangle. Our start and finish is at a country pub with a huge garden and lots of parking. We’ll get you started just after 9am and meet you half way round with a serving of tea and cake at a lovely village hall where there’s a cricket match going on. Back at the finish you can take your time and enjoy the pub food and well, yeah, beer.

Off-road sportives are sometimes called Gravel Rides. This new event is based on our Tour of the Cornfields which first ran in 2006 – we think it was the country’s first such event – and it’s going stronger than ever from its base at Wimpole Hall in S Cambs – see below.

Tour of the Cornfields – Sunday 6 September 2020
Enter Tour of the Cornfields here

Tour of the Cornfields is the country’s original off-road sportive, run since 2006. This year it’s on Sunday 6 September around 100km of byways, bridleways and lanes from the National Trust’s Wimpole Hall. The ride is now a classic and our low-key approach is appreciated by the select few who ride it. Strictly max 300 riders.
