The New Forest 100 takes riders through some of the most beautiful roads and landscapes the New Forest has to offer, with a choice of three fully signed and supported routes.
Starting and finishing at Gang Warily Recreation Centre, this circular sportive showcases one of the UK’s finest cycling destinations.
With rolling roads, open heathland, ancient woodland and picturesque villages, this is a ride designed to be enjoyed.
With very little climbing, the event is aimed more at a relaxed and rewarding day in the saddle rather than an all-out test of speed. Whether you are riding for the scenery, the atmosphere or simply the joy of being on the bike, the New Forest provides the perfect setting.
Riders can choose from:
Long Route – 161 km (101 miles)
• Medium Route – 105 km (65 miles)
• Short Route – 57 km (36 miles)
At all times riders are expected to follow the New Forest Cycling Charter and respect the unique environment they are riding through.
No matter your ability, this is a friendly and welcoming sportive.
THIS EVENT IS FULLY SUPPORTED WITH MARKED ROUTES, INCLUDING MECHANICAL AND MEDICAL SUPPORT.
