Cyclists at the Eden Classic

Eden Classic sportive cycling event

We are sorry to announce that the Eden Classic sportive cycling event due to take place on Sunday 19 May 2024, is cancelled.

The annual Eden Classic

The Eden Classic sportive is a non-competitive mass participation cycle ride offering three spectacular rides that take in the most scenic parts of the south coast in Cornwall.

Riders have a choice of three route options, ranging from a short yet challenging ride of 36 miles to a middle distance of 60 miles, and a long ride for the experienced sportive rider of 100 miles

All routes take in dramatic coastal and country scenery and include the Lost Gardens of Heligan. At the end the riders can enjoy the sight of the world-famous Rainforest and Mediterranean Biomes in as they descend into the Eden Arena.
