Event Summary
Event Overview
Amersham Brill Amersham is a Classic 3 distance sportive based in and around the Chiltern Hills. fully supported, the rides will start and finish near the Historic Old town of Amersham, just North of London and wind there way through the lanes and legendary climbs that make this area such a hotbed for cyclists.

Riders then make their way back along the signed routes to finish with a warm welcome from the crowd attending the GE Chiltern Cycling Festival. The sportive is the flagship event of the Festival which is a celebration of all things cycling for the whole family.
Family Fun Ride The easiest ride to get involved with, open to all types of bikes, the route of approx 8km is flat and a great way to just ride your bike with Family and friends. at approx.12.30 so why not tag a Pic-nic by the river, onto the end of your ride and enjoy the rest of the Festival. The ride will be supported by Luker Rowe and if you really want to enter the Festival spirit bring some fancy dress (for bikes and riders)!

It's all about the simple enjoyment of riding your "Classic" bike on a Summers day in a beautiful setting. From traditional wicker baskets to Classic lightweights expect plenty of retro inspired High Jinx - there are no set rules governing the bikes age as long as you enter into the vintage spirit you will be in good company.
