Come and enjoy a tour of the heartlands of Suffolk from the spacious arena at Trinity Park, Ipswich ideally situated just off the A14 and A12. There are no dual carriageways or highways on this tour of Suffolk however, as we head out of our private rear gate and meander through some of its quieter and less trodden paths and villages en-route to clocking up to 100 miles.
With routes of 25, 50, 75, or 100 miles, there’s something for everyone, no matter your experience or bike type. Each route is fully signposted, risk-assessed, and supported by the friendly TPR Events team.
Longer routes include a complimentary lunch, and all riders enjoy free hydration and snack stations. Expect cyclists of all kinds—road bikes, e-bikes, tandems, and more—celebrating Norfolk’s stunning countryside.

WHY RIDE WITH TPR EVENTS

From the first signpost to the finish line, all TPR events are built around inclusivity, quality, atmosphere, value for money and the kind of details riders actually notice on the day.
Properly signed routes
Clear, well-planned routes shaped by local knowledge, so you can focus on the ride rather than second-guessing every turn.
Food, drink & rider support
Well-stocked stops, friendly volunteers, and mechanical support out on the route to keep you fuelled and moving.
Memories worth keeping
Bespoke medals, rider plaques, event photography and those little finishing touches that make the day feel special. Also, courtesy of our friends at Adnams, all riders receive a FREE can of Adnams too!
Great venues and locations
From iconic start locations to scenic countryside routes, the setting is always part of what makes the experience memorable.

We ride the routes ourselves and care about the details. That hands-on approach creates a genuinely welcoming, rider-first atmosphere.
Not-for-profit, community focused

Built by riders, backed by volunteers, and designed to leave you already thinking about the next one.
