Starting close to the easy to access Devils Punch Bowl and from which the sportive gets its name. The course weaves through the scenic roads between the North and South Downs, looping around the stunning Devils Punch Bowl, before heading up into the challenging North Downs.
This Sportive has been designed to be slightly shorter than our normal sportives to reflect the time of year. But is still a challenge, as the course includes a couple of awesome hills to get the legs pumping and amazing descents to get the heart racing. Taking in the best of the varied landscape of Hampshire and Surrey. Although there are a couple of hills, everything is achievable. A great end of season sportive, on very quite roads, within a stunning area!
Two different ride lengths (80 miles / 50 miles) allows you to pick your challenge for a great day out.

Yes, right after "it lost control."
If you are being generous, they should lose their license as they didn't realise what they were doing. ...

I know people that vilify Millar for doping but were happy to cheer on that wheelsucking doper Valverde. Go figure.
Well done that man (also - nice trike)!...
intervals.icu is a good free alternative to TP
Absolutely fine - they're Shimano ICE tech rotors & pads which helps. It's fairly hilly where I live (Dorset) and I'm 87kg so they get tested...
That top picture of the team really does hammer home the skills and trust involved in riding a TT bike on a banked circuit at 40+mph, centimetres...
