Ride Introduction
Ride one of the toughest routes in the South East & take on 13 major climbs (including 8 in the Top 100 climbs) in Surrey & Kent. Starting in Cranleigh, the route starts in the Surrey Hills with the steep climbs of Barhatch & Coombe Lane before heading along the North Downs ridge to Kent. The toughest part of the route is the 50km between Sevenoaks & Redhill with some super punchy climbs including Toys Hill & Chalkpit Lane before coming back into Surrey for a sharp last 20km over Leith Hill. With over 3,000m of elevation, this is as tough a ride as you can get in the South East and a real challenge to put in the calendar for 2021.
