Following last year's first and hugely successful first ever Addiscombe Cycle Club sportive we are featuring a new event and magical event. It coincides with the undoubted interest in road cycling and will be on some of the most beautiful and in many cases undiscovered lanes of Surrey, Kent and West Sussex.

Starting off from the very accessible Croydon village of Coulsdon, Surrey the fully signposted and electronically timed ride immediately heads out into country lanes via Chipstead Valley, Bletchingley, Brasted, Penshurst, Groombridge, Hartfield, Dormansland and Bletchingley.

This rideable-by-all 75 mile course will set you some challenges.  You will be rewarded with some of the best kept secrets of no less than 3 counties in the  Surrey, Kent and Sussex countryside with views that will make you want to weep, and for the affordable price of just £22.50 you’ll get an unparalleled inclusive package of:
fully electronic chip timing, electronic payments system and SMS messaging of results
delightfully mapped course with downloadable file
fantastic headquarters with ample parking and Italian style cafe ; mid ride feed stations
convenient access by road or rail
full safety cover, first-aid, cycle repair, and sag wagon

This is a ride that can't fail to delight and you'll be well cared for by one of the largest and most successful London cycle clubs - entry is limited to 400 so don't delay and be disappointed. Entry on line should be possible but safer still to enter now.
