This route is suitable for cyclists with some experience of sportives who are perhaps looking to challenge themselves further. Good level of fitness required. Minimum age 12. Start time 9.10am

Classic (60miles) - A varied and beautiful, challenging day in the saddle, this 60 mile ride through the High Weald of Kent leads onto the open heaths of Ashdown Forest. Including the iconic category 4 OFFICIAL 100Climbs No19 Kidds Hill climb, aka "The Wall", there are plenty of climbs to challenge the spring cycling legs and beautiful scenery around every turn to reward your efforts. Good level of fitness essential.Start time 9am
