The ridgeway
A gravel adventure worthy of the most seasoned off-road aficionado.
As the sun rises you and your bike will be transported to the start line and supported on this epic adventure by our experienced Ride Captains, events team and Hotchillee mechanic.
Riding from the stone circles of Avenbury to the iconic Ivinghoe Beacon you’ll follow the countries oldest road on arguably the toughest one day event we’ve ever put on. Be in no doubt, that first sip of beer at Musette café as the solstice sun dips below the horizon will definitely be well earned!
Places are limited to 25 riders and open to Hotchillee Premium members only
