Please note that car parking is not allowed in the village but there is free parking just outside the village on the Cheddington side. The car park will be manned from 06.30 am by local scouts and we would appreciate a donation to help their funds for all their hard work.

Signing on for all events will take place on Saturday from 15.00 to 18.00 in the Village Hall, and again on Sunday morning from 07.00 to 11.00am, where you can collect your front number to display for our photographer and you timing chip for all important ride timing.
The route is fully arrowed and colour coded, with 2 feed stops on the 93 mile route supplying SIS nutritional drinks, bars and gels, plus fruit, water, cakes and some savouries.
The Stag ride will have a “Pit Stop” at the end of each lap on the Green, where each entrant will be timed entering the “Pits” and leaving, this time will be added to their ride lap times. However we will not being giving prizes for the fastest eaters and drinkers. The Stag will be however serving food for those wishing to stop for a full engine re-tune.

We would like to remind all entrants that this is not a race, and that everyone must adhere to the Highway Code at all times and the organisers reserve the right to with draw any rider reported to them for breaking the rules of the road.
We will have a broom wagon to help should your ride encounter terminal problems. We expect all cycles to be in full working order, but we have The Phil Corley Cycles Team to help if required plus our service bike enroute. Emergency telephone numbers will be displayed at signing on, please make a note of these.
We hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable ride and enjoys the Village Green activities on your return, ideal for the family day out. We hope to raise substantial funds for both the local Village Charity and the RNIB.
