Tour of the Cornfields

Offroad Endurance , Cambridgeshire – Sunday, 04 Sep 2016

Event Summary

Event Overview

The original and super popular Tour of Cornfields returns for 2016! Organised by the team that runs London's Beastway series and cyclocross races for LVYCC in the Eastern League cyclocross.

Suitable for gravel bikes, cyclo-cross, MTB, hybrids and sturdy road bikes, this is 100km off-road and on-road route around the beautiful S Cambs, Huntingdon and Beds countryside.  

Now with a higher proportion of the route off-road, the 2016 version ranges more widely on byways and bridleways to take in even more countryside between Cambridge, Royston and Biggleswade. Online routes for previous editions are all out of date. Entrants will receive route info on the eve of our event.

Starting and finishing in the National Trust's Wimpole Estate this is an excellent end of road season or beginning of the cyclo-cross season event and it's as relaxed as you want to make it. We offer a lovely refreshment stop at half-way. Kiosks, cafes and restaurants abound at Wimpole Hall.
