Cost

 £15 per person if VMCC member. This cost includes event registration, coffee/tea/bacon sandwich at the start and a burger at the finish.

Suitable for low powered machines

Rutland is surprisingly hilly. The route is rarely flat with a cumulative total of 1200 metres (4000 feet) of climbing incurred on small rural roads. For this reason the event is not suitable for very low powered machines or for mopeds.  

A route sheet and GPS file for the recommended route is provided in advance and riders will be able to do the route at their own pace and adapt as they feel appropriate.
