The inaugural Le Classique was a huge success in 2016 and rolls on into 2018, providing riders with another chance to enjoy a day trip to France and a great day out on the bike.
Starting at Dover ferry port, we will arrange your ferry and parking and, once we've got you aboard, we’ll add a little joie de vivre with fresh coffee and croissants to get you into the French spirit.
Both registration and the safety briefing will take place during the channel crossing to maximise your riding time. Ninety minutes later, you’ll roll off the ferry in Calais and the sportive begins. There are two courses to choose from: the Epic 83 miles or Standard 60 miles, but both routes explore the amazing northeast coast of France.
Epic: 86miles
Standard: 56miles
