  • High Five - Will be supporting the feeding stations and you will get a 'goody bag' from High Five!
  • Ashdown Forest Loop - The 2012 version of the 105.5K (65.5mile) route now goes through Forest Row. You then climb up to the heights of the Ashdown Forest before descending to Coleman's Hatch to tackle the dreaded 'Wall' (Kidds Hill) up to the top of Ashdown Forest again.
  • Mylaps - Timing system will now be used. Which instead of the previous front fork transponder will have a disposable chip on the back of the bike number issued. So it won’t be necessary for you to return this at the finish.
  • www.vaidasbicycles.com. - Will provide bike servicing facilities at the HQ and at both Ashurstwood and Ide Hill controls. Mobile unit will attend serious accident or mechanical breakdown in response to calls on the Emergency Hot Line 07721675508/07500737473.
