The Archer Grand Prix cycle race is part of the British Cycling Premier Calendar. The race was run for over fifty years by Stuart Benstead of the Archer Road Club. Since 2006 the race has been organized by Stuart Cook with Benstead as promoter. It has, in the past, adopted the name of its main sponsor, including Pernod and Cycling Weekly. Consistently routed around the roads and lanes of the Chiltern Hills, the current route is split into a large and small circuit. The large circuit takes in Whiteleaf Hill and Hughenden Valley while the small finish circuit includes the finish at Winchmore Hill. The 2007 edition was won by Simon Gaywood riding for the Plowman Craven Associates team from Matt Talbot (Rapha Condor) and Andy Roche (Pinarello). The 53rd version of the race will run in Spring 2008.
