Enter this 161km permanent cycling event at Audax UK

Explore pretty Suffolk and Essex Lanes with CTC Cambridge on this 161km (100 miles) permanent route, designed by a club member who goes by the pseudonym of Hairy. We start from Cambridge's Newmarket Road park and ride site, which has a petrol station (with shop) just next door.

The route could be started at Cambridge North station, which is on the route. Or you could also start at Cambridge central station and ride along Brooklands Avenue and over Lammas Land to pick up the route.

Validation is by e-brevet or GPX track. Using e-brevet, you can start along the route or reverse the direction: e-brevet instructions (pdf).
