Beach to Beach Bike Ride

Get into gear and take part in Asthma UK's Beach to Beach Bike Ride. Cycle from Bournemouth to Brighton in this unique cycling challenge and see what the south coast has to offer! Let's roll.

19 May 2012 - 20 May 2012
Distance: 140 miles
Registration fee: £55

Where you will roll

The Beach to Beach Bike Ride route offers varying terrain and stunning vistas over the countryside and English Channel. From Bournemouth, riders will travel along the coast and up into the heart of the New Forest, with its quaint and picturesque villages. Watch out for those ponies!

Stunning scenery unfolds as you travel along the route towards the overnight stop in East Meon on the Sussex border for a well deserved rest. On day two, cyclists will tackle the South Downs. Heading out east above Chichester, Littlehampton and Worthing, you will travel through the beautiful countryside of this national park. Once you have taken in the breathtaking views from the top, it's time for the "final roll" down into Brighton and along the seafront to the finish.

The route, which is all on-road, is suitable for experienced cyclists or novices who are looking for a challenge.

A cyclist's story. . .

Beach to Beach Bike Ride "It was wonderful. I've been on other rides in the past and I can truly say this was one of the least stressful and most enjoyable (except for the hills of course) rides I've ever been on."
