2009 Registration
Click here to register for the 2009 Castle Ride on Sunday 17 May.
Remember 2008 sold out so register early to ensure you are not disappointed!
Join us on this 100 mile circular road ride, which starts and finishes at Tonbridge Castle in Kent on Sunday 17th May 2009. More than 750 people took part in May 2008, and we are aiming for 1000 in 2009. The event was a sell out last year so be sure to book your place now to guarantee a place!
This clever countryside route, which has an extremely challenging profile, through the 'Garden of England' takes in some of Kent's wonderful castles and sections of the Pilgrims Way.
The finish point at Tonbridge Castle is idyllic and will be set up to keep friends and family entertained as you grind your way through the last few miles!
We promise you a fantastic day out and a huge sense of achievement will be yours once you have completed this great endurance ride!
"I wanted to say a massive thank you to you and all of your colleagues for a great day on Sunday. It was one of the toughest rides I have done but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The organisation was second to none and the course was well signposted. The refreshment stops and lunch were also very generous and certainly much needed and everyone was very friendly. And well done for securing the good weather too!" - Pierre Ramboaniaina

"We all have our own Everest to conquer and taking on a personal challenge can change you and your life. It just needs you to make the decision, to step out of your regular, everyday life, and go for it! The roads not always easy, but the rewards from completing a big challenge and the feeling of personal achievement will stay with you forever. We are all born special and deep down we do have the strength to reach our own summits. What have you got to lose!"
