RIDE IT is a series of non-competitive cycle events taking place across the country and aimed at riders of all abilities. At every ride you’ll find a choice of fully waymarked routes, well stocked feed stations sponsored by High 5 Sports Nutrition, mechanical and sweeper van support if things go wrong, electronic chip timing to record your ride and a finishers medal waiting for you at the end.
Please note that entry does not include free parking, this is £6 in advance, or £7 on the dayday, paid to National Trust. National Trust Members can park for free with badges displayed.
Parking can be prebooked here at a reduced rate

This early fixture on the RIDE IT calendar will be a great opportunity to get back on the bike after winter and your new year off to a flying start.
