Welcome to the second Tour of the Meon Valley, in partnership with British Cycling. This is a non-competitive sportive in aid of a hugely popular crowdfunding campaign called Fit for Felix, set up to support a promising 12-year-old triathlete Felix Barrow after he was hit by a car on his way to school in October 2015. For more details on the campaign, head to fitforfelix.com.

As per last year, there are three routes to choose from. Each is fully signposted and marshalled for your safety, and we will have a number of feed stations along the way to keep your energy stores topped up! There will be refreshments waiting for you on your return to Wickham (baked by our wonderful volunteers), with finishers medals for our junior riders, and masseurs to ease the recovery process! Sportive jerseys are now available to purchase from fitforfelix.com/shop, or you can buy one on the day. 

Info for Riders

Each of the three routes follows an identical start and finish.

• The 25 mile loop heads from Wickham up towards Swanmore and West Meon, then back via Old Winchester Hill and Droxford.
• The 50 mile route heads to Kilmeston, Northington, Bighton and Bramdean Common to West Meon, then back via Old Winchester Hill and Droxford
• The Century ride extends beyond Micheldever, skirts Basingstoke, before heading south via Lasham and the Candovers to West Meon, then back via Old Winchester Hill and Droxford

There is a route map now live on www.fitforfelix.com, and all riders will receive an information pack via email one week before the event.
