Sportive fans looking for a testing target to enliven the end of their season could find their ideal match in the inaugural DorkingShift 3-cyclosportive event. The British Cycling-backed event features three distances of 30, 50 and 100 miles, all taking in the beautiful lanes of the North Downs. The 100-mile HeroShift is not for the faint hearted, ascending up to 8,500 feet over 8 categorised climbs, making it one of the toughest sportives in the UK.
As an added incentive, event organiser Bite the Sun, is offering riders the chance to sign up for a 3‐month, pre‐sportive body and bike prep, training and performance webinar series. The first 30 early-bird entrants in each sportive signing up before June 30th, will get expert advice, training and performance testing usually reserved for elite athletes, with contributions from leading health, sports science and bike experts—all for the price of an entrance ticket!
In aid of Yes to Life cancer choices and Alliance for Natural Health International (ANH-Intl), a campaign promoting natural health approaches, there is also a full day of health and fitness expos with live cooking demos and tastings, followed by an evening of live music and entertainment, the DownShift
