Superb bike ride linking two stunning university cities
2010 could be the year you take up the challenge of riding 89 miles from Oxford to Cambridge. Or perhaps you want to come back again and beat your personal best! It’s a fantastic ride that any regular cyclist shouldn’t miss out on.
What’s the route?
The route follows quiet roads through Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire countryside to the big skies and flatter fenlands of Cambridgeshire. Follow this scenic route to the finish at Midsummer Common, where you will be welcomed with refreshments and entertainment for you to enjoy.
What time does it start?
You can start anytime between 7am - 9am.
PURCHASING coach services?
An optional non-stop coach service from Cambridge to Oxford will be operating in the morning and in the afternoon.
The cost is £25 for you and your bike.
If you want to book this in advance (which we highly reccommend) you must ADD this when registering online.
REMEMBER, if you are registering more than one person, you must select more than one coach service!

Do I have to raise sponsorship?
This is a sponsored event and the BHF ask all participants to raise as much sponsorship as they can to help the BHF save more lives in 2010. The BHF is the nation’s heart charity, dedicated to saving lives through pioneering research, patient care, campaigning for change and by providing vital equipment and information. We rely on donations of time and money to continue our life-saving work.
