The New Forest Classic 2025

Saturday 12 April 2025 | Gang Warily

Get ready to conquer the New Forest this April! Join us for one of our most thrilling Classic Series events, featuring four epic routes starting from Gang Warily recreation ground and diving straight into the coastal beauty of Lepe beach.

Challenge yourself with our Short, Middle, or Long routes, each winding through the enchanting New Forest National Park. Encounter breathtaking landscapes, mystical woodlands, and even friendly roaming livestock like New Forest Ponies and Highland Cattle.

For first-time riders or those not wanting to take on anything too long, don't miss our Rook ride - a 17km adventure that'll introduce you to the pure joy of exploring the British countryside on two wheels.

Finish strong and be rewarded with a well-deserved finisher's medal and other awesome goodies from our partners.

Our New Forest events are always in high demand. So, if you're ready to embark on this unforgettable adventure, don't delay – sign up now!
