Southwold Roubaix Sportive

The majestic seaside town of Southwold plays host to The Southwold Roubaix Sportive for our 7th edition of the event. 

The wild and rural Suffolk coastline, heathlands and villages offers some beautiful country roads and makes the perfect place for an early season sportive. 

Challenge yourself on either 25, 50, 75 mile routes or by popular demand, our 100 mile route to bag your first century of the year! 

The Southwold Roubaix also has OPTIONAL off-road sections. These are called our Roubaix “sectors” in homage to the famous early season “Paris-Roubaix” race that utilises short sectors of rough tracks within northern France and is being run on the same day.

Any road or gravel bike can tackle the sectors but you are likely to get muddy and/or dusty. You can simply choose en-route whether to tackle the sectors or bypass them as both are signposted and in the downloadable routes.

From previous years we know the achievement of conquering the Southwold Roubaix challenge is raised by the weather where it is possible to have all four seasons in an hour! You will earn your medal and Adnams after this one…
