Join Team Poverty on the inaugural Cathedrals to Coast Bike Ride! Starting in London, this 147-mile challenge will take us past some of England's finest cathedrals and castles and finish on Weymouth's seafront.
Itinerary
Day One - 75 Miles
After a briefing at around 8:30am we'll leave south London and cover around 75 Miles, passing the impressive Guildford Cathedral.
After a buffet lunch we'll continue the ride, passing both the historic Winchester Cathedral and Mottisfont Abbey.
Our campsite is on the edge of the beautiful New Forest where we'll share a BBQ dinner and perhaps pop to the local village to enjoy a drink after a good days ride!
Total Ascent: 4631 ft Total Descent: 4635 ft
Day Two - 77 Miles
After a hearty breakfast we'll set out on day two of the challenge, and head towards Salisbury Cathedral. We'll follow the river Avon all the way to Christchurch where we meet the Jurassic Coast.
Taking in the coast line we'll catch the Sandbanks ferry to the Isle of Perbeck and will head inland to take in the view of the ruins of Corfe Castle and Lulworth Castle.
And after completing 77 miles we'll arrive at the Kings Statue on the Weymouth Seafront where you will be presented with your medal and have the chance to celebrate your achievement with the rest of the team!
