ROUTES
Suffolk, hidden away on the East coast is often overlooked when looking for great riding locations in the UK but this hidden gem has so much to offer in an ancient rural landscape, with strong links back to earliest Britain.
Starting in Ipswich but heading directly East to the coast and the beautiful coastal town of Woodbridge. The three routes that cover a full 100 mile challenge down to a very manageable 34mile, explore the many coastal estuary's leading to hidden fishing ports and wild coastlines. The vast majority of the route is relatively flat, allowing the ride to flow and the rider a chance to take in what we feel is a real classic route.
