Buy ticket - EpicThis Sportive is quite a challenge, with awesome hills to get the legs pumping and amazing descents to get the heart racing. Taking in the best of the varied landscape of Surrey Hills and North Downs, all 3 courses are based in the heart of this area of outstanding natural beauty. Although this area is known for its hills, everything is rideable if you have a reasonable level of fitness. A great early season tester, on very quite roads, within a stunning area!
