Now in its 6th year the Burgess Hill Springtime Classic Cyclosportive is a true test of fitness, combining exemplary support with testing climbs, exhilarating descents and generous feed stations. Three routes are on offer: the full 71miles with 3 feed stations,?the Challenge Ride at 53miles with 2 feed stations?and the Tour Ride at 35miles and 1 feed station; all use Burgess Hill in West Sussex as HQ and all three take in the beautiful countryside around Ashdown Forest with the longer route travelling into Kent and Surrey.
In addition to technical and first aid support (plus broom wagon for stragglers), the event includes goody bag, chip timing, energy and savory foods at feed stations, reduced-rate post-ride massage and the chance to relax (with further free snacks) and watch a selection of cycling films when all the hard work is done. Entry before March 3 is £28, after is £30, and if places are still available on-the-day entry will be £35. For further details and entry see: srs-events.cc Can’t decide if it’s the ride for you?
