Charity ride: ‘Hell of the Ashdown’ Challenge

The ‘Hell of the Ashdown’ Challenge - Sunday 28th January 2007

Promoted by the Catford Cycling Club in aid of the Multiple Sclerosis Society

Start from Knockholt Village Hall , Kent (easy access from M25 or by A21)

• Long Route 100K (62.5 miles) in 5 hours – Groups start from 9.00am
  
• Short Route 60.8K (38 miles) in 3.5 hours – Groups start from 9.30am
  

Book in at least 30 minutes in advance - Entry Fee £5 on the day

The long route, which goes as far south as the Ashdown Forest, tackles some hellish climbs:

• Turners Hill
• Groombridge Hill
• Ide Hill
• Star Hill
  

(Not counting the stamina sapping lumps and bumps on the way)

The short route, whilst taking less time includes the climbs of Ide Hill & Star Hill (the sting in the tail)

A good opportunity to ‘get the rough off’ after the festive season, providing you’re up for a testing ride. This and what the winter weather has to offer, will still prove a real test for the more ‘leisurely’ rider
