Description
Now entering its fourth year, our 2027 event invites you to explore the beautiful countryside of West Sussex, taking in the timeless charm of quintessential English towns and villages that make this region so special.
The route features sections through the iconic South Downs National Park — a landscape celebrated for its rolling hills, rich history, and vibrant wildlife. It’s the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable day on two wheels.
Building on the success of previous editions, we're excited to offer three thoughtfully designed route options for 2027, catering to a range of abilities and ambitions. Whether you're a seasoned cyclist or new to sportives, you'll enjoy a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere and the camaraderie of a like-minded community, all set against some of England’s most picturesque scenery.
THIS EVENT IS FULLY SUPPORTED WITH MARKED ROUTES, INCLUDING MECHANICAL AND MEDICAL SUPPORT.

ROUTE MAPIf you require a printed map, you need to download and print your own. There are no printed maps available at the event.
Although the routes are comprehensively marked with route arrows, on occasion people move these signs. We suggest downloading the route to a phone or navigation device just in case you need route assistance on the day.
For the safety of riders and the sanity of event staff we must use cut offs. If you start your ride at the appropriate time and can ride at approximately 12mph, you will make the course split point.
Long Route Cut Off
On this event the cut off is at 12:30. You must be at the 82km point by then to continue the Long route. If not, you will be directed to the Medium course. This affects the Long route only.
Riders on all routes must return to the event venue by 16:30.
