For 2015, the Chiltern Cycling Festival, once one event, has been split into two.

On July 12 there will be 30, 60 and 100 mile sportives over the beautifully hilly Chilterns, a hill climb event, as well as 30 and 65 mile MTB routes – both with the option to go vintage in bike and dress.

There will also be a Family Fun ride, and a ‘Vintage Concors D’elegance’ for those who want a sunny family ride with friends, plus vintage stalls, a bike expo and farmers market.

On 31st August, the events really go back in time, with the Chenies Velo Classique, where the road events will swoop over retro inspired Chalk Roads and the MTB riders will tackle a course designed specifically for the bikes of the 1980s and 1990s – check out all the info here.
