Choose from Highclere MagnifiCat; 126mile with 3000m ascent, or Route77Cat; 77mile with 1700m ascent, or CommuniCat, 46mile with 900m ascent. If you just want to enjoy the castle and its grounds come take part in the KiddiCat charity challenge; 1mile multi-lap ride within the castle grounds.

Whichever "Cat" you aspire to be there is a great ride for you to enjoy.
