King of the Downs Sportive
Its back for another year, the big one. 115 miles with 9,000ft of climbing, testing each rider to their limit.
The King of the Downs – Evans Cycles RIDE IT crowning glory. The route covers the Surrey hills, North Downs, Ashdown Forest and Kent, and accumulates 9,000ft of climbing on the 115 mile route. There is a 54 mile option available which promises to be just as inspiring. The ride begins from Evans Cycles HQ in Gatwick with a number of notable climbs along the route, including Leith Hill, Kidd’s Hill (The Wall) and Titsey Hill. Every entrant will receive a pre-ride breakfast and cooked meal on their return, as well an abundance of energy products to keep you going throughout the day. Your entry also includes a fantastic bag full of goodies that you can pick up after the ride.

Excellent - I think I'll replace my emergency tube that is a real squeeze to get into the little Topeak bottle cage bag thingy....
