65 Mile Route – Participants riding the full 65 mile course will set out on a 33 mile loop of the quiet country roads surrounding Boxford. You will pass through several quaint villages and witness some lovely countryside views. With around 1,400ft of elevation, this is a nice undulating route with just the right amount of challenge and faster sections. On returning to Boxford, cyclists will head out on the second loop of 32 miles with 1,200ft of elevation, again passing through quaint villages, the market town of Hadleigh and the stunning area known as Constable Country. A feed station is approximately ¼ of a mile into the second loop.
