Guide to Cycling and Touring in the Chilterns

Thinking of touring around the South East of England? With good train and bus links to either the Bucks, Herts or Wokinghamshire end of the Chilterns, it's worth an explore. Here is a basic guide to some of the listed routes around the Chilterns.
Cycling in the Chilterns

Chiltern Heritage Trail

The scenic Chiltern Heritage Cycle Trail links the historic towns and parishes of the Chiltern District and includes some of the area's most popular tourist attractions and places of historic interest.

The Trail is divided into three loops, each covering approximately 25 miles. The loops are quite distinct in terms of scenery and character, and each is named after a famous historical figure linked to the District.

Cycle trail maps, provided by the Chilterns District Council, are available online:

Chiltern Challenge 100 Sportive

The Chiltern Hills provide excellent terrain for a ride out on any Sunday morning, but what better way to do it than on this great event with over 600 riders to keep you company!  This undulating route explores the quiet lanes of middle England passing through picturesque towns and sleepy villages. 

The organisers sayd that, with a choice of 100km or a tougher 100-mile route, you'll have a great day in the saddle with the Action Medical Research team. Whether you are an experienced rider aiming to get a fast time or a rider aiming to make a day of it and take in the sights, this ride is for you.

Expect excellent feed stations manned by friendly volunteers and a buffet style lunch mid-way through the ride that you will find hard to tear yourself away from! Riders will be supported by first class medical support, mechanical services and a sweep vehicle.

Many riders have experienced a RIDE 100 event, and thoroughly enjoyed the social atmosphere and return to enjoy the unique experience that it offers.

A terrific ride, fantastic organisation and real friendly.
Really enjoyed the day, drank loads and the food and service was wonderful.
Thank you, see you next time.
