WVCC Off-Road 100 Miler #6 – 8 June
Our off-road endurance ride is back for its 6th edition on Sunday 8 June setting off from the top of the Brampton Valley Way on Scotland Road – What3Words ///repeated.almost.thudding – at 6.30am.
Our annual off-road 100 miler was originally born in lockdown in 2020 as there were no organised cycling events at the time. The first year saw a socially distanced group of 6 south west to the bottom of Borough Hill near Daventry. Year 2 saw a larger group head south east all the way to Irthlingborough. In 2022 we headed north east to Belvoir Castle and the Grantham canal, returning via Rutland Water and in 2023 we headed west to Kenilworth and Coventry. Last year we went north through Leicester to Charnwood.
This year we’re heading south west to the Burton Dassett Hills. The route initially heads south on the Brampton Valley Way before taking a detour to the top of Haselbeach Hill and the eastern side of Pitsford Reservoir before heading south west to Farnborough Hall before turning for home. The route back takes in part of the Oxford canal and visits Ashby St Ledgers where the Gunpowder Plot was planned and onto home territory for the run home via Crick, Winwick and Sibbertoft.

This will be an unsupported club ride for WVCC members and friends from other local clubs, so you will need to carry plenty of spares and have a plan for rescue if needed.
Please let us know if you’re coming on our off-road one day endurance adventure via our WhatsApp group.
As ever, for off-road rides, we recommend some form of puncture protection such as tubeless tyres with sealant or self sealing inner tubes.
