One of the hillier gravel sportives you'll find for its distance. The Chilterns pack short, sharp chalk-and-flint climbs into every kilometre, out from Kingston Blount across the folded, beech-clad escarpment.
The route
Chalk-and-flint byways, bridleways and woodland tracks linked by quiet lanes, threading up and over the Chiltern escarpment and its side valleys. The defining feature is the climbing: short, steep chalk ramps stacked through the ride, not one long ascent.
Late-July, Kingston Blount
Highs around 23°C and lows around 13°C, but it has dropped to 7°C. Rain on 40% of days.
