Berkshire 100 Sportive

A new sportive for 2026 starting from Newbury Rugby Football Club puts us straight onto some of Berkshire’s best cycling roads, with quiet lanes, rolling chalk hills and big-sky views across the North Wessex Downs.

The route builds gradually, mixing fast valley sections with a few testing climbs that reward you with sweeping panoramas and long, flowing descents.

Riders will pass through historic villages, open farmland and wooded ridgelines — the kind of varied terrain that keeps the day interesting from start to finish.

Whether you’re setting a goal, riding with friends, or just soaking up the scenery, this is a route designed to be both challenging and genuinely enjoyable.

Cross the finish line back at the club, grab a drink, and feel that unmistakable post-ride buzz — legs tired, spirits high, and a big grin you can’t quite shake.

Free parking is available at the event venue.

As with all our events, the routes are fully marked and supported, so the only thing you need to focus on is enjoying the ride.
