Sorry, entries for the 2010 Wantage to Winchester Bike Ride are now closed. Thanks to all who have entered; we’re looking forward to seeing you on the 16th.

Hyde900 celebrates the history of Hyde Abbey in Winchester and its neighbourhood – a story closely tied to King Alfred the Great. Our journey follows the story of his life. We start beneath Alfred’s statue in Wantage, his birthplace on the northern borders of Wessex. Crossing the Downs we pass near the site of Alfred’s first major victory over the Viking invaders – an event still celebrated annually in the Hocktide festival at Hungerford, further along our route. Entering ­Winchester, we pass Alfred’s final resting place in Hyde Abbey and finish the ride in the shadow of his statue in the heart of his capital city.
