Southwold Hosts Major Cycling Event

Saturday, 25 April 2026 06:00

Cyclists are set to take part in a large-scale ride starting in Southwold as the Suffolk Roubaix returns.

The event offers four route options, ranging from 25 to 100 kilometres, catering for a wide range of abilities and experience levels. It is open to both gravel and road bike riders.

Inspired by the well-known Paris-Roubaix race, the route includes sections of rough and unmade paths, as well as stretches of cobbles, although organisers say it is designed to be a more accessible, recreational version.

The event has been running since 2019 and continues to attract participants from across the region.

Organisers say the ride is intended to provide a challenge while remaining suitable for cyclists of all ages and abilities, with a choice of distances to suit different levels of experience.
