The original and super popular Tour of Cornfields returns on Sunday 6 September 2020! Organised once again by the team that runs London's Beastway series and cyclocross races for LVYCC in the Eastern League cyclocross.

Suitable for gravel bikes, cyclo-cross, MTB, hybrids and sturdy road bikes, this 100+ km off-road route loops around the bridleways, byways, lanes and minor roads in beautiful countryside between Cambridge, Sandy, Huntingdon and Royston. Your start is at the prestigious country estate of Wimpole Hall where there is dedicated event parking and lots for the whole family to do all day. There is the half-way cake stop at a wonderful church hall with a secure paddock. oh, and what lovely cakes they are....!

We also offer a 50km option which still gets you to all the important places.

Online routes for previous editions are all out of date. Only entrants will receive the full route info on the eve of our event. Make sure you supply an active email address for us to send you the route details.

You can ride at your own pace or team up with others as you follow the route we issue for GPS on the eve of the event. We also provide the route for your smartphone as routes and a map image. Our signage scheme is minimal but effective when we tell you what to look for.

A new route has been recce'd for this year's edition. The event has been run since 2006 and this year's route works new variations in with old favourites. Once again all proceeds from this event will support the Eastern Region 'Contenders' cyclocross training days for youth riders run by Mark Wyer. We are proud to have made these effective training sessions possible. Look out for dates and details.

Many riders choose to bring the whole family as Wimpole is a great place to stay and play all day while riders do their thing. https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/wimpole-estate

We estimate you will complete the ride in four hours but we know it will take some as long as seven hours. That's fine.

We start riders in groups of 6 at intervals to be COVID compliant and to avoid trail blockages. You will be informed of your start time, and the time at which you can arrive into the car parking. Your start time and finish times are recorded. Time spent at the mandatory refreshments stop is subtracted, which means you can take your time to enjoy the tea and the cake.

This is an unsupported ride with no sag wagon but we have been known to retrieve a rider. Mainly it's nice to rely on the kindness of others or bring your own toolkit and spares. You know what you're doing.
