Marlow Red Kite Ride

The Red Kite Ride (RKR) sportive gives you a taster of the Chilterns, a top UK cycling destination. Beautiful rolling countryside, home to the graceful Red Kite, provides challenging climbs rewarded with sweeping descents.

For 2017 we have new routes across three distances, 50, 80 and 100 miles, each with well stocked feed stations and toilet facilities.  All routes take you through quintessential old English villages and countryside.

Riders cross the River Thames twice, passing the finish line of the internationally renowned Henley Royal Regatta, and again at the end of the ride as they return to Marlow across the iconic Grade I listed Marlow Bridge.

Ideal for those looking to break the ‘century’ or ‘half century’ for the first time or as well as those looking to enjoy a day out in the Chilterns.

All routes start and finish at the Marlow Sports Club.  Finishers receive a medal and goodie bag.  There will be a range of refreshments and a barbeque where friends and family can cheer the intrepid riders as they return.
