Route information
This challenging yet stunning sportive is a great ride across the Meon Valley. Each of the three routes starts at Swanmore and head out towards Hampton Hill, Beacon Hill and Old Winchester Hill, where the beautiful views become well worth the effort.
The medium and long routes head up the renowned Butser Hill, lots of out-the-saddle climbing here but the sight of the sea and the panoramic views at the top make this totally worth it.
You then venture over to picturesque Rowlands Castle with the medium route looping back via South Harting, Buriton and East Meon.
The long route heads further east towards Glorious Goodwood, returning via the South Downs National Park.
