for MTB

The longer route distances and faster trail choices lean the balance of this event a litte more towards gravel bikes, but there’s still plenty of fun to be had on XC MTB’s and 29ers. There are a few sections where an MTB will come into it’s own and the whole route is a fantastic ride on any fast, modern bike!

for GRAVEL

This route is hand picked for gravel bikes, with plenty of fast paced trails to get your teeth into. There’s still a few slightly gnarlier sections in the mix to keep it a bit spicy, all connected by the Chilterns quiet lane network to create a varied and highly enjoyable ride!

The Highwayman’s Trail: Epic Autumn Gravel / MTB Riding!

The Chilterns are a near perfect mix of roads tracks and trails for gravel riding and MTB. The Highwayman’s Trail spins out its route to explore some of the darker, grittier folds of these deceptively demanding hills.

While the Chilterns might enjoy a genteel reputation today, their hidden history recalls them as a hotspot of dashing villainy. Coaches loaded with cargo from trading vessels that docked at Henley had to make their way through the wooded hills where robbers watched and waited. The truth of these robberies were usually far from the romantic image of the gentleman robbers we have today, making this part of the country a forbidding proposition for tradesmen and travellers.

And the very things that made this area perfect for highway robbery, make it ideal Gravel/MTB riding today. The densely folded and wooded hills conceal a network of lanes, tracks and trails the wind and climb and fall continuously, while the quintessentially English countryside views and picture postcard villages gracefully evoke tales from times past!

Pedal to the Medal

Our ride timing features Gold, Silver & Bronze time band targets to aim for, with times adjusted for each age and gender category. Whether you treat it as fitness / performance indicator or just a fun extra, it's a great feature of the event.

And it's more than just a label on the results screen - you get a high quality bespoke finishers medal at the end of your ride in Gold, Silver or Bronze colour to reflect your ride time! It's a great souvenir of your ride and a nice little incentive to see if you can 'medal up' a colour next time!

Riding the Chiltern Hills

The Chilterns are distinctive for their high ridges, dense woods and closely folded hills. It all makes for a tough but hugely enjoyable place to ride!

You’re at the eastern end of the Ridgeway here, and the ride takes you straight out onto that ancient trail before a brief clip thorough corner of the town and then quickly out into the countryside for the rest of the day. You’ll soon find yourself climbing, as the pattern of the day is established. The Chilterns don’t lie flat for long; the climbs and descents come in continuous succession. And as well as rising and falling, the Chilterns twist and wind too; long, don’t expect straight sweeps of terrain. It’s a mix that creates plenty of physical and enough technical to test and entertain you, all the while leading you through the sort of landscape that makes cycling good for the soul!

Event Logistics

On the Ride

Once you’re ready to start, report to the start / finish area with your timing chap strapped to your ankle. Listen to the short briefing and ride across the timing mat as directed. As you go around the route, you will find bright orange signs and ribbons to follow. At route divide points, you will find yellow signs showing you which way to go to follow the Full, Mid or Short routes. These should guide you around the whole route, but use your map if you think you have strayed off course or have a problem with the route navigation. There are also emergency contact numbers on the edge of your map. Ride safely at all times, and remember that you are on public rights of way and roads. This is not a race, so please ride appropriately, and be friendly and polite to other trail users you meet. At the end of the ride, pass over the timing mat once again, and hand in your timing chip. For those interested in there ride time, these will be available on the computer screen at the finish.

Entry on the Day

You can enter the event on the day, although there is a small surcharge of £2 (so pre entering is recommended). Just arrive before the end of the registration period and pay at the desk.

Registration

Go to the registration desk on your arrival. If you’ve pre-entered via the internet or posted your entry, you’ll have a timing chip on an ankle strap to collect at the desk. If you haven’t pre-entered, pay at the desk and a chip will be allocated to you. Collect your colour A4 map at registration also. Next, get yourself ready to ride.

Following the Route

Follow the orange signs and orange ribbons (you will shown samples of these at the ride briefing) regardless of which route distance you are riding. Everybody follows orange. At route divide points, you will see a set of yellow signs, with “Full Route”, “Mid Route” or “Short Route” written on them, pointing in different directions. At this point, follow the right sign for the route you are riding. Once you get beyond the route divide point, you will start following orange signs and ribbons again.

(Please note, in spite of our best efforts, signs can go missing or be tampered with during the course of the day. Make sure you pick up a copy of the route map at event registration, and carry it with you for use if needed. We also send out GPS files to all pre entries prior to the event, so if oyu want ot have the route on your phone or GPS device, sign up online now!)

Food and Drink

Hot and cold food and drink and snacks will be available to purchase from the event centre before and after the ride. (Including our ever popular home made chilli!)
