The distance from Surrey to Hove Lawns.
Raised for BHF last year.
While some novices may struggle, many have successfully completed the ride by persevering through its tough sections and have found the overall experience to be extremely rewarding.
This is a challenging event, but don’t panic! Expert training coaches have created a training plan for the event, to ensure you’ll be fully prepared to take on the challenge.
Mountain bike expert Max Darkins at Rough Ride Guide has created a new training route. The GPX file is broken down into sections, covering a London to Brighton MTB route, but replacing the Wisley section with a M25 bridge diversion. This is instantly available when you sign up.
A comprehensive kit and equipment list is readily available so you'll know exactly what you'll need.
Hardtail MTB.
Due to the rough and varying terrain a hardtail MTB is best suited to this ride, although a short-travel full-suspension or gravel bike would also be suitable.

The ride was epic, I’ll be back next year just to conquer those darn hills. Andrew
