The 2025 Winter Warmer is on Sunday 12 Jan, from Chalfont St Giles, heading out into the Chilterns.
There are three versions. The long route is 108km (1200m of climbing), medium route is 60km and short version of 44km. The long route is a challenging winter ride which goes up several of the main Chiltern climbs, while the medium route has Hatches Lane as its main climb. The short version is a pretty ride that misses out all the big hills and almost all the busier road sections so works well for parents with younger riders, etc.
There is now a series of reliability rides, which has been called the Spring Classics (although most take place in winter!). These are the other rides, but check site for updates and entry links:

Formatting Help
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
