Chiltern 100 Cycling Festival
Event info
Firmly established as one of the toughest sportives in the UK and situated right on London's doorstep, the Chiltern 100 takes in the finest riding the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty has to offer - proving that brutal can be beautiful. The sportive is a 'best of' the region's many gruelling climbs, including the infamous Whiteleaf Hill (as featured on Simon Warren’s list of the 100 Greatest UK Cycling Climbs) and Wardrobes. Unrivalled route management and support ensure that your focus is 100% on your ride, whether the Chiltern 100 is your main challenge in 2017 or a crucial leg of a longer journey.
NEW FOR 2017 - the Chiltern 100 Sportive has joined forces with the Chiltern Cycling Festival to create the Chiltern 100 Cycling Festival. Enjoy the challenge of the Chiltern 100 Sportive, with its trademark character, camaraderie and club-like atmosphere with the added benefits of the Festival's retro-inspired Velo Village, including:
Family ride
Vintage Concors D'Elegance parade of vintage bikes
Over 30 stalls featuring cycling clothing, equipment, gifts and collectibles
Live music
Beer tent and gourmet cuisine
Live coverage of Stage 15 of Le Tour de France
All that's great about both events on a single day and for a single entry price!
