Starting and finishing at Sparsholt College in Winchester, the 2020 edition of one of the hardest sportives on the calendar will combine all the most challenging climbs that the beautiful South Downs national park has to offer. From Butser Hill, Beacon Hill and Old Winchester Hill to name a few there will be plenty of hills putting meaning behind the name! You'll be treated to beautiful woodland, stunning countryside, quaint villages and of course, amazing views from the tops of the climbs.
With a fully signed and marshalled course with feed stations along the route supporting you all the way, there's no reason why you should wait in ticking off one of the best sportives in the country.
Free Breakfast before you set off, full mechanical support on the route and a medal, drinks, snacks and chipped timing await those who finish. If the 100 mile route is a bit too much, we have a mid length distance at ~60 miles.

Could Siobhán paint it red and noone would notice it?
