Routes & Rider Information 2025

Our routes for 2025 are here!

The feedback we received for our new routes in 2024 was overwhelmingly positive, so much so that we will keep the same routes (subject to any roadworks) for 2025!

The Red Kite Ride offers a choice of four routes over 40, 50, 80 or 100 miles to appeal to a range of cyclists.

New for 2025, we have also introduced a 39-mile route with fewer hills to tackle than our other routes.

Whichever route you choose you will be cycling through some of the most picturesque parts of the Chilterns. This is the land of “Midsomer Murders”, “The Vicar of Dibley” and countless TV commercials. But it is also great cycling territory.

All routes start and finish at the Marlow Sports Club, with the first riders able to leave at 7.30am.

On your return you’ll receive a warm reception with medal and goodie bag. There will be a BBQ, hot and cold drinks, plenty of cake, and sounds from Marlow FM.

We may need to make further minor changes to these routes so please do not download them to your devices until closer to the day.
