Designed to cater for both novice and experienced riders the Sportive Pulse is built around a strong social atmosphere with its combination of talks, workshops and rides. Two routes are on offer: a main 50km jaunt (complete with some challenging hills) across the Sussex South Downs and a much more low-lying 25km option for those just looking for a quicker leg stretch; indeed the day is scheduled so that, should you wish, you can take to the road on both or mix in multiple laps…
Registration starts at 8:00am at the Duncton Cricket Club HQ (map here) with starts from 8.30 and the final hilly loop set for the off at noon and the last short route at 1.30pm. Mech support and all the usual niceties are included along with free SIS energy drink and snacks at the feed stations. An all-inclusive ticket at £18.00 covers all ride options and full access to the day’s events and discussions.
