CX Century: The South Downs Way
CX Century: The South Downs Way, 9th July 2016
100 mile or 100km CX Challenges
The South Downs Way; it has long been a right of passage in mountain biking circles. And now this hundred mile ribbon of imposing chalk downland is about to become an icon of the CX scene.
Renowned as a supreme physical rather than technical challenge, the South Downs Way is the most high profile answer to the long distance US gravel scene that we have. But so much more, too. The huge climbs and sweeping descents wouldn’t be out of place among the Tuscan Strade Bianchi, while the expansive coastal views are quintessential British beauty.
CX Century brings you all of this in the ultimate CX event! An unforgettable experience and a monumental challenge that will prove your place amongst the endurance elite! CX Century will be a badge of honour and pride, and this is your chance to be one of the very first to join that club!
CX Century is fully supported, from route marking to multiple feed and support stops, we make it possible for you take on this epic ride as part of the first mass CX challenge. Just 500 places will be available in this first year!

As I've also placed here the nutter Audi and white van drivers, I've decided to give those no-nonsense keep-the-country-moving BMW drivers a list...
100% this. Policing mentality is formed by social 'norms', and the cyclist witchhunting across social media is the UK norm. Close passing a person...
That's a clear 2 points awarded there, but I guess as there's now a 25% tariff you'll only get 1.5
