The New Forest Classic 2024 - SATURDAY

Saturday 13 April 2024 | Gang Warily

The New Forest Classic has now sold out for our Saturday event. You can enter the Sunday event here: New Forest Classic 2024 Sunday




We're back in the New Forest in April for one of the most popular events in our Classic Series. Offering four different routes all starting from Gang Warily recreation ground that head immediately down to the coast at Lepe beach. 

If you're new to riding then check out our Rook ride which is just 17km in length but will give you a taste of the joys of exploring our Great British countryside on two wheels. If you're looking for something a little longer then choose between the; Short, Middle and Long routes that all weave through the New Forest National Park, taking in the beautiful scenery and magical woodlands along the way. You'll even see some of the roaming livestock on your way round including New Forest Ponies and Highland Cattle. 

Of course, you’ll be rewarded for all your efforts as you cross the finish line to receive a finishers medal and other goodies from our partners.

Our New Forest events are always incredibly popular so if you are thinking about entering, we'd recommend you do so sooner rather than later.
