London Phoenix Easter Classic 2026

The London Phoenix Cycle Club cordially invites you to the 17th edition of our traditional Easter Classic cyclosportive on Monday 6th April 2026.

Choose from two completely new road route options – 113km and 59km – or ride the all new gravel route – 70km (all distances approximate). Strava segments are available for each route for those wanting to compare their times. Neutral car service and broom wagon (road routes only) in case of mechanicals.

The road routes will take you through the quiet country lanes of Hertfordshire (suitable for road or hybrid bikes). The gravel route will take you off road (mostly) through woods and along bridleways - gravel and mountain bikes are recommended! own single track .

All three routes will pass through Brickendon where there will be a feed station. There will be toilets and you’ll be served free hot drinks and our legendary oat bars and other wholesome goodies.

The routes are not arrowed – we strongly recommend that you use a Garmin or Wahoo or similar navigational device. In theory you could navigate by riding with someone you know and who has navigation, and use Google Maps or Strava or similar on your mobile phone as a back-up; but we definitely don’t recommend that (especially not on the gravel route).
