Description

Join Kingston Wheelers Audax Chapter for a gravel focussed 100 mile randonneur from Kingston to the South Downs and back. A challenging multi media ride using quiet roads and 27 off-road sectors (standard gravel, bridleways, cycle paths, disused railway lines, mud and singletrack)

The route is mostly two loops and uses the Downs Link gravel route extensively.

It will cross the North Downs and pick up the Downs Link cycleway near CHILWORTH stopping for refreshment at the MILK CHURN CAFE before re-joining the Downs Link and then riding through the Knepp Wildlands to take you to the chalk slopes of the South Downs and near CHANCTONBURY RING. Return leg via ASHINGTON is a partial repeat of the outward route using the Downs Link but then cuts across to the Surrey Hills up to COLDHARBOUR and then the final run in via FETCHAM back to Kingston.

There will be food and beer (non alcoholic options available) at the Park Brewery (included in the price) to greet you

What bike? Ideally I would suggest a 'gravel'/'CX' bike as there is a mix of terrain with a fair amount of road which may be hard work on a MTB. At least something with plenty of clearance for thicker (plus 35c) tyres.
