Route information
Starting in the traditional working market town of Fakenham, the ride heads out from the Racecourse.
Short Route
The short route heads north-west on this typically flat section of land, towards the pretty villages of North Creake and onwards west to Great Bircham, offering a traditional taste of East Anglia with its millponds and flint cottages.
Standard Route
The standard route begins with an additional easterly loop from the racecourse crossing the River Wensum before the rolling country terrain opens up. Pedal through quaint villages including Fulmodeston, Hindringham and Binham, briefly skirting into the gorgeous Norfolk Coast AONB (Area of Natural Beauty).
You'll pedal westward as far as the village of Snettisham, just 5-miles from the coast and within a stone’s throw of the Snettisham RSPB Nature Reserve.
Remaining inland, save enough in the tank to turn south and enter the tree-lined grounds of the Royal Sandringham Estate, which always looks grand in Autumn colours.
Only a short ride then separates you from the royal grounds and a finisher’s medal back in Fakenham, passing the Royal Stud and continuing through Anmer, Great Massingham and Litcham.
Feed Stations
Dependant on the length of the route you have entered there will be 1-3 checkpoint / feed stations. These are indicated on your event day map and are well signposted along the route.

Is this a timed event?
While this isn't a competitive race, we still time each participant so you can see how you've done if you want. Times will be posted online when they are available (typically the day after), and each rider will receive either a bronze, silver, or gold timing award based off of their average speed.

Will there be a cut-off time for the races?
While there isn't a specific cut-off time, approx 30 mins after the last rider starts event teams will start to clear the routes. On some routes course splits will also be removed and slower riders may find themselves on a shorter route than they anticipated. This is done to ensure every rider makes it back on time.
