The Devil in the Downs 12th August 2012
You want a challenge - you've got it!
A Devilishly designed 125km route with 2500 metres of climbing. En route, you will tackle some of the finest hills that the High Weald has to offer - Bonfire Hill, Brantridge Lane, Cobb Lane, Saddlescome Hill, and of course Devil's Dyke itself. classic climbs of Steyning Bostal, Blackdown Hill, Bury Hill and Harting Hill.
We may not have the Alps or the Pyrenees in Sussex, but there are enough hills to get you out of the saddle and test those legs. Long grinding climbs and short sharp hills that are enough to get your heart pumping, the lungs bursting and sap the energy from even the fittest thighs. And, when you get to the Devil's Dyke, you'll find that even the views are breathtaking.
