Inevitably, the clue is in the name of the Wiggle Ups and Downs sportive. It’s an early-season test like few others and its many climbs and descents will get the heart racing no matter what. The tight and technical turns in the fast country lanes add to a great variety of climbing roads in the North and South Downs on a great test of a route.
This ride starts out in Dorking but avoids the zig-zags of Box Hill in favour of lesser-explored areas of Surrey. Sections of the 2012 Olympic road race remain all the same, as you’ll begin the first few miles by heading west across the North Downs.
The route explores hidden country lanes in and around Surrey before cropping up near Godalming – you won’t enter the urban area, instead it’s time to head to the South Downs. You’ll go as far down as Wisborough Green, and into Sussex, before surfacing and edging back into Surrey, where the remainder of the testing hills present themselves near the end of the route.
