The event is FREE to enter - with an optional donation if you can
There are 100km and 55km distance options - The 55km event is geared more for families, follows a route on the East Side of the island, taking in Cycle Route 23.

Does it matter if I can't make the Isle of Wight date?
No - our regular weekly social rides are free and you can still win prizes for coming on Isle of Wight Challenge rides!
