The Best Bits of the Haydon Hundred

And of course the best bit of all is the event itself. It's just two days away, and the good news is that you can register on our website right up to, and even on, the morning of the event. Do bear in mind that late entries cost £5 more, so best to book early!

Once again we're looking forward to a great event. Hope to see you there!

Enjoy the Very Best Bits of the Haydon Hundred

We like to think that we’re one of the friendliest and best organised sportives around, and much of this is down to the many volunteers who give up their time every year to come and help. But don’t just take our word for it:

“Great organisation and communication in the lead up to the event. Extremely friendly volunteers at the start, end and en-route.”
“From start to finish, the volunteers and marshals were welcoming and supportive and dotted around the route in strategic places.”

Ride the Haydon Hundred: A Cycling Sportive Like No Other

Whether you’re a seasoned rider chasing your next big challenge or simply looking for an unforgettable day out on two wheels, the Haydon Hundred has something for everyone:

The 140km Skyrider: Conquer 5 of England’s 6 highest roads with a staggering 2,814 metres of ascent. This expert-only route is the ultimate test of endurance and skill!

The 100km Classic Route: Take on the famous Alston cobbles, traverse dramatic moorlands with 1,905m climbing and enjoy a route packed with character and charm.

The 60km Challenge Route: Perfect for less experienced riders, with 879m climbing it’s still a tough but rewarding ride for anyone with reasonable fitness.

Another of the Very Best Bits of the Haydon Hundred.

Whitfield gets into our Best Bits selection just because it’s such a pretty place, nestled in the West Allen valley below the surrounding moors. In fact, we like it so much, the Classic and Skyrider routes visit it twice. And of course we always take time to remember the story of cycling pioneer J. Lindsay Auldjo Jamieson ( https://www.haydonhundred.co.uk/contents/2922-jamieson ) and the sad fate which befell him here. Check your brakes!

What a great bank holiday weekend. Did a final ride through of the route and it's in great shape. Council have done a fantastic job of filling potholes.
Here's a picture of Killhope in the sunshine. Are you ready?

Its nearly Haydon Hundred time so we thought we'd remind you about the Very Best Bits of the Haydon Hundred

“The friendliest sportive. The organisers do such a brilliant job putting this together you really get the sense it’s community driven.”

So take a bow Haydon Bridge. One of the best bits of the Haydon Hundred is the village itself, where since 2013 local businesses and individuals have combined forces to provide an unrivalled welcome. Every year cyclists arrive in the village in a hurry and leave at their leisure, staying around to enjoy the quiet of our lovely riverside village. Why not try for yourself? Don’t forget that our setting on the banks of the Tyne mean that the last few miles are all downhill. And also that all this effort helps to raise funds to keep our village library open.
