Event Summary
Event Overview
BIG NEWS! We have a new course! We have taken feedback over the years and improved our sportive course. Our club has ridden these roads over and over to ensure you get the best out of the Sussex Countryside.
This early season leg warmer starts at the Observatory Science Centre, Herstmonceux and offers two distances, the Epic at 102km or the Challenge at 66km. Through the Sussex High Weald and the Ashdown Forest, undulating country lanes with very little traffic, these rides challenge you to take on some of the finest climbs and rolling flats that East Sussex has to offer.
Pleas follow Beachy Head Cycling Club on the below links for more information.
