Poppy Ride South Downs

Take on our Poppy Ride and cycle through the beautiful South Downs.

First time event riders or sportive enthusiasts can enjoy routes that wind through the picturesque countryside and provide an opportunity to ride alongside veterans. This really is a ride not to be missed. In 2023, there will be three different distance route options.

All three distance options will start and finish at Sandhurst, the Royal Military Academy. The mid and longer routes will head into the scenic South Downs National Park, the newest of the UK’s 15 National Parks, where you can take in beautiful landscapes, rolling green hills and incredible wildlife.
