A build-to-distance gravel sportive on the chalk of Hampshire. Two routes out of Thruxton: a 100km century or the 217km Centurion, a genuine all-day endurance ride. Mid-July, fully signed, feed stations, no cut-offs.
The route
Rolling Wessex chalk gravel from Thruxton: firm flinty byways, farm tracks and bridleway stitched with quiet lanes. Choose the 100km century or the 217km, with around 2,550m of climbing on the long route that comes from constant rolling rather than any single big climb.
Mid-July, Thruxton
Highs around 23°C and lows around 13°C, but it has dropped to 8°C. Rain on 38% of days.
