The Course
The course consists of a 14.8 Mile loop, to be completed 5 1/4 times, with a total of 78 Miles. Road surfaces are good and fast rolling, with the topography rolling throughout. There are two main climbs, one through Dormansland (where on the final lap riders turn off to the finish) and the short sharp climb up Hart Field Road.
Dormansland is the best spot for spectators. The course climbs through the village and during the final lap spectators can walk to the finish. The route also goes past a couple of good Pubs at this point.
Course starts at Den Cross, runs anticlockwise, finish is on Mutton Hill (Dormansland)
