More info on the route will appear here soon.
The route will depart from Brixton Cycles Shop and descend into the melee of the west end, blatting across some early secteurs of the Smokes’ Victorian pave before tucking into the east end and its myriad lanes of snaking cobbled nadgery.
We then cross the river to start a series of LBCs (Lung Bursting Climbs) which increase in frequency before the descent from Crystal Palace to the finish at Herne Hill Velodrome for a flying lap, in homage to Paris-Roubaix.
The route is designed for riders of all abilities, on all manner of bikes, and encompasses a number of London Overground-enabled bail out points for those that suffer with mechanical or physiological events. For some this will be the biggest bike ride they’ve ever taken on, for others it may seem like a gentle spin. We guarantee all riders will know they have ridden their bikes.
