Eroica Britannia - important update
It is with great sadness that Eroica Britannia has been postponed until 2023. The event was due to take place on 6-7 August 2022, but a number of logistical and supply chain challenges have made it very difficult to deliver the world-class event we’ve all been looking forward to. Like you, the whole team at Goodwood are disappointed that the event won’t be happening this summer. We’d like to thank you for supporting the event’s move from the Peak District and we look forward to welcoming you, the cycling community and our partners to West Sussex and the South Downs National Park next year, to celebrate all things cycling at Goodwood. Stay tuned for future announcements about the 2023 event.
Select from our three ride routes that take in the best of the South Downs National Park
For those looking to take on the ultimate cycling challenge, the ride options include a 20-mile, 60-mile and 100-mile circuit. A chance to explore the beautiful Sussex countryside and South Downs National Park on your pre-1987 bicycle with friends, family and the Eroica cycling community.
