Five of the best

The Iconic series starts with Bike Oxford on 21 June at Oxford University Rugby Club. The ride opens gently with a lap of Oxford’s historic streets before heading into the picturesque Oxfordshire countryside, with the long route reaching into the Oxfordshire Cotswolds.

The weekend will also feature a Bike Oxford Cyclability ride, providing a safe opportunity for everyone to enjoy cycling with inclusive facilities and access to a fleet of adapted cycles to best suit individual needs.

Next up in the series is Bike Bath on 5 July 2026. 

Running since 2012, the ever-popular sportive returns to the Recreation Ground to celebrate cycling in the famous city of Bath.

“Under the tower of the historic Bath Abbey and sharing the Rec with the illustrious Bath Rugby Club, it is an historic venue from which to cycle into the glorious southern Cotswolds,” say Iconic.

Entrants can choose from three routes of 28, 54 and 78 miles heading north out of the city into the picturesque Cotswolds.

Two weeks later, it’s the return of The Canterbury Bike Ride on 19 July 2026.

Based at Canterbury Rugby Club, riders can again choose from short, medium and long routes with a chance to get some salt sea air in your nostrils on the coast at Whitstable, before returning through the Kent Downs AONB.

August sees two more events, starting with the most northerly ride in the series – Bike Chester on 23 August 2026.

Starting at Chester Rugby Club, riders on the medium and long routes will cross the border into Wales at Holt and tackle the infamous Horseshoe Pass climb.

The series concludes with Bike Cotswold on 30 August at the familiar venue of Westonbirt School near Tetbury. See out your summer in style with a choice of three routes exploring the Cotswolds AONB.
