A New sportive for 2026 starting from Newbury Rugby Football Club puts us straight onto some of Berkshire’s best cycling roads, with quiet lanes, rolling chalk hills and big-sky views across the North Wessex Downs.The route builds gradually, mixing fast valley sections with a few testing climbs that reward you with sweeping panoramas and long, flowing descents.
Riders will pass through historic villages, open farmland and wooded ridgelines — the kind of varied terrain that keeps the day interesting from start to finish.
Whether you’re setting a goal, riding with friends, or just soaking up the scenery, this is a route designed to be both challenging and genuinely enjoyable.
Cross the finish line back at the club, grab a drink, and feel that unmistakable post-ride buzz — legs tired, spirits high, and a big grin you can’t quite shake.
THIS EVENT IS FULLY SUPPORTED WITH MARKED ROUTES, INCLUDING MECHANICAL AND MEDICAL SUPPORT.
