THIS IS THE PAGE FOR THE 50/35 MILE RIDE TO ENTER THE 100 MILE RIDE, PLEASE CLICK HERE

Starting and finishing on the outskirts of Cambridge, the ride takes you north through Cambridgeshire towards the Norfolk coast on this lovely 50 or 35 mile route. There will be plenty of refreshment stops along the way making this an enjoyable day's cycling to raise money for Prostate Cancer Research.
The 35 mile route has a couple of hundred yards where the road surface is a little 'rough'. (between Burwell and Wicken Fen). Therefore we'd recommend hybrid bikes. (anyone on a road bike may wish to walk this section).

"Fully enjoyed the Cambridge 100 - this was my first 100 mile ride. I will be coming back soon!" J. B.

Please help Prostate Cancer Research - your entry fee goes towards the costs of running the ride so please ask family and friends to sponsor you generously to make a real difference. THANK YOU.
