Tour of the Candovers
About the event
The Tour of the Candovers, in it’s 8th year, is a cycle sportive originally set up by the friendly folks at Odiham Cycle Club to encourage members of the Hampshire & surrounding areas cycle community come together and enjoy the fantastic cycling routes on our doorstep. With routes of 20, 40 and 60 miles, The Tour of the Candovers has something for everyone as well as the friendly and social atmosphere of a local bike ride.
All proceeds of The Tour of the Candovers go toward our long term friends over at Naomi House & Jack’s Place, ensuring not only a fantastic day out on the bikes, but something is given back to the community as a result.

Organiser
The Hampshire Tour Series was set up back in 2014 by members of Odiham Cycling Club & 1st Gear Cycles bike shop in Alton. Previously known to locals as the Tour of the Candovers, Hampshire Tour Series started with its flagship fundraiser sportive in Odiham & since then has grown year after year, eventually expanding in 2018 to include the Tour of the Worthys & Tour of the Meons events, based from Alresford.
Set up by cyclists for cyclists, the routes take on some of the finest & least known roads of the Mid-Hampshire area. A friendly service & local feel has been at the heart of what we do since the start, riders can expect to find a race HQ, with refreshments available, clearly marked & marshalled routes, motorbike rider support across all 3 events, and finally who could forget our now famous mid-route cake stops courtesy of our partners Simple Cakes?
If you’re looking for a fun, friendly but challenging cycle sportive to enter, then you’ve come to the right place. Head on over to our cycling page for more information, view the routes & enter.
