Brittany Challenge 2024
Registration for this year's Challenge is now open - we hope you will join us for three unforgettable days of cycling adventure, camaraderie and charitable fundraising. For 2024, teams of 4 will ride 561 miles in relay through Brittany's awe-inspiring coastline, taking in beautiful countryside, quaint villages and the odd ascent... for good measure!

The route
We will meet in Portsmouth on Wednesday 25th September at 18:00 to take the Brittany Ferries crossing to Saint Malo, arriving at 08:30 the following morning, when the Challenge begins.
You may be a bit tight on space if you're taking a car with a bike rack; we recommend using or hiring a van to fit all of your team, bikes and gear.
