The Ride

The Classic Rides

Choose between the three Classic Ride options of around 25 miles, around 60 miles and the full 100-miler for a true challenge.

Each ride will showcase the very best the beautiful South Downs has to offer. Expect tough climbs, with the reward of stunning views at the top. If the weather is kind, you'll enjoy a cooling sea breeze as the routes near the coast with its beautiful beaches and the blue water of the English Channel.

The return legs will wind their way through the picturesque villages and farmland of West Sussex, before a warm welcome back at Goodwood where riders can bask in the satisfying glow of achievement.

Cycling for all ages

Eroica Britannia has been enjoyed by cyclists as young as five, while our oldest rider was 89 years young. We often see different generations of the same family coming together to share in the spirit of adventure

Over a quarter of our riders are women, a proportion that has grown with the event over the years.

Whether your passion is cycling, or the vintage scene, everyone is welcome at Eroica Britannia.

Please note that whilst there is no lower age limit for participation in The Ride, any riders under 18 years must be registered and accompanied at all times on The Ride by a parent/guardian.
