The Best of Sussex
Our Sussex Downs Classic Sportive on September 7th is a stunning event that takes in some of the finest less travelled West Sussex countryside which weaves its way through picturesque villages and pretty little lanes. With three choices of route, there is something for every rider. Choose from the very shortest 50km route, an intermediate 125km route and the epic 160km course which even includes the well known Kidd's Hill climb, which features prizes for the KOM and QOM on the day!
Short route - After climbs and descents of the High Wealds, you’ll enjoy cycling through the quaint towns and villages of Copsale, Maplehurst, Partridge Green and Shermanbury. As you hit the back roads, look out for the various wildlife including huge Kites, deer and smaller creatures of the countryside.
