Info for Riders

Course - 74 miles, E1,2

From the HQ in Groombridge we will ride up to the top of the Ladies Mile, neutralising as soon as we're out of town. Then it's a further 10 laps round to the lap board. The course has a long drag, but is characterised by it's sharp turns and at only 4 miles around feels like a big crit circuit. At the end of Ladies Mile we turn right and continue onto the Crowborough Circuit.

After riding through Friar's Gate and turning off the main road riders hit the steep Marden's Hill Climb which last 1.3 miles until reaching Crowborough Town. At which point there's a wide fast descent and couple of short sharp climbs to break the momentum and then it's back onto the main road at Friar's Gate.

After 5 laps around this second circuit we go straight on up the B2188 and finish on a 800 meter clear open uphill section leading into Ashdown Forest. Then it's all downhill back to the HQ
