The Wye Valley Classic

Sunday 22 October 2023 | Chepstow Racecourse

Online entry has now closed. On the day entries will be accepted and costs an additional £5 over the standard online entry price.

Making a comeback for 2023, this once very popular event starting in the beautiful border town of Chepstow, is definitely one you don't want to miss.

Set on the edge of the Wye Valley AONB itself with super quick access from the motorway, riders will be setting out with a spectacular view of the beautiful river Wye.

From the very start, we are tracking the course of the river Wye with some stunning natural vistas coupled in with long, sweeping descents and some scenic Welsh history along the way such as Tintern Abbey.

After 20km of river frontage, the route takes us over the border to the English side for a quick tour through the Forest of Dean and then back to the AONB with plenty of climbs along the way.

This ride is a great one to round off the season with leg-burning climbs and epic views. 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 at OTE Sports and Days.

The Routes

Choose your route carefully. The distance and elevation gain should give you some indication as to how easy/hard each route is, as well as showing you where the tougher climbs are.
