Duncton 100 and Trail Ride: Results and photos

Conditions ensured that the first Southern 100 Enduro of the season would indeed be a true test of endurance at the weekend. The big South Downs hills are a tough enough on a good day, but add in some unseasonably cold winds and a light, persistent rain, and you have a hard day in front of you. That didn't put off the more determined and hardened amongst you and, fortunately, with a total of four different distances on offer, there was still plenty of good riding for anyone who fancied a shorter trip out in the bracing conditions.

Southern 100 Enduros grow for 2010

One of our most popular introductions in the past couple of years has been the Southern 100s. For a couple of events in the spring and summer, we've added full 60k and 100k enduro routes alongside the regular trail ride distances, and you've jumped at the chance to step up!

Timing marches on in March!

Our Southern Trail Ride series was the original series to develop the popular Trail Ride format, years ahead of the competition. We're staying ahead of the game too, keeping quality of the ride at the top of our priorities (there's no hidden retail agenda with us!) and, from March, introducing our state of the art transponder timing system to the events too!

South Downs Lemming Trail reaches it's 15th year!

As the 2010 South Down Way Lemming Trail Opens for booking, we look back 15 years to where it all started...

In the mid 90's, cycling was an afterthought on the South Downs Way. The official trail had been increased by 20 miles at the Winchester end, to bring it up to the magic 100 mile mark, but with the telling inclusion of several sections of footpath. The powers that be clearly considered it solely as a long distance walking route.

Then, in early 1996, we sat down with the local authorities to discuss our plans for the first South Downs Way Lemming Trail. And the rest, as they say, is geography...

Shackleford Events Cancelled due to Snow

Current weather conditions have forced us reluctantly to cancel this weekends events at Shackleford. The heavy snowfall over Tuesday and Wednesday has spread further east than predicted earlier in the week and badly affected the event area.
