Fairies Summer Audax Rides 50 to 200km
The much-loved and long-running summer series of Audax rides from Bethersden are back in 2026. After 22 years of evolution - starting life as the Fairies Flat 5 - the three longer rides still take you to the iconic cycling destination of Dungeness, which is the nearest you can get to the end of the world in Kent. And the 50km Summer Breeze still takes you to Headcorn Airfield cafe. There’s a great choice of distances to suit a wide range of riders. Which one will you choose?
200km Summer Dream
150km Summer Holiday
100km Summer Swallow
50km Summer Breeze
Apart from the pleasant Kent countryside, the flatish routes and the quality of food provided, participants often welcome the traditional Fairies welcome, TLC and legendary soup.
Entries will close one week before the event. There are no entries on the day except for the 50km Summer Breeze.
Entry is through the audax UK website by selecting a date range which includes 28/6/2026.
