The Autumn Series - The Tour of Oundle

Just because the days are getting shorter, it doesn’t mean you have to stop cycling. Keep riding with our Autumn Series – now open for free booking. These rides are all about getting the best out of the season, perfect for getting out on your bike and warming up on a fresh autumn morning! As ‘challenging’ rides you can expect distances of twenty miles and above, usually with some hills thrown in along the way. You don’t have to be the next Bradley Wiggins to take part, but you’ll need to be fairly fit. A Challenging ride in the beautiful East Northamptonshire countryside. Starting at the beautiful Kirby Hall, you'll travel along quiet roads on your way to the ancient market town of Oundle, starting point for this year's Women's Tour of Britain. Then you'll continue North along the National Byway, visiting Kings Cliffe and Blatherwycke before returning to Kirby Hall. Along the way you pass through many beautiful villages and see impressive stately homes and old churches nestled in the gently rolling hills.  Please note: If travelling from the south, please be aware that the A6086 Geddington Road in Corby is closed in both directions between The Grove junction and the Stanion Lane junction, because of bridge maintenance work. Access to Kirby Hall is possible from the east via the A43 and then Kirby Lane via Deene, or from north and west via the A6003 and then take A6068 near Rockingham Castle.
