A one day sportive along the north west coast of France
Escape England on a day trip to France and ride along beautiful traffic free roads and back lanes along the French coast line.
Get yourself to Calais (we'll help you out with securing cross channel options/ recommended departure times via the tunnel or ferry) where we meet and sign on 1km from the port 10am-11am. Then you’re off out along the coastal road following a fully sign posted 100km route. As you ride along the coast look to your right and you should be able to see the white cliffs of Dover.
After a beautiful hair pin descent into Escalles the route then follows a clockwise direction taking in picturesque sleepy villages, traffic free countryside lanes and a velvety smooth road surface to roll along.
Your last climb back into Calais is back up from Escalles - the reward is a fast fun descent for 6 miles to Calais and the finish. Then it’s time to grab a beer or two, relax and enjoy the hospitality of France.
