The New Forest Classic 2024 - SATURDAY
Saturday 13 April 2024 | Gang Warily
Online entry has now closed. As this event is sold out, on the day entries will NOT be available.
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.
