RIDE Wessex Downs Sportive

A new event HQ and a new date for 2026! Join us this July as we set out from Newbury for a fantastic day of cycling in the heart of the North Wessex Downs. With a mix of rolling terrain, punchy climbs and sweeping views, this is a ride that offers something for everyone.

Choose from three routes, each showcasing the very best of this stunning Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Expect peaceful country lanes, charming villages and first-class support throughout the day. Famed for its hillside chalk figures and links to the literary classic Watership Down, this beautiful region will test your legs and reward your efforts in equal measure.

Enjoy a great day in the saddle with the Action Medical Research team and help raise vital funds to support sick and disabled babies and children.
