This event has a mandatory route - you should follow the route instructions as closely as possible.

A hilly ride from the River Thames to the coast and back, mainly using quiet lanes and B roads. Fantastic views over Southern England and the Channel with climbs over the North Downs, High Weald and South Downs.

Halfway point is the cafe on the beach at Seaford, where you can chose to stop or not. On the way back there is a free control in the pretty medieval town of Mayfield, where you need to get a receipt from one of the shops/cafes/pubs.
