Celebrate your fantastic achievement in Britain's 'hippest' city, taking time to explore the picture-perfect beach front views, or delve deeper into the city to retrace the grandeur of its Victorian heritage. A wealth of bars and eateries await as you toast your success.
Put your stamina to the test as you tackle renowned climbs, like the thigh-burning Turner's Hill in West Sussex.
This is the ultimate ride for those who are new to cycling, as the training advice and partially closed road route prepares riders for the road and cycling with others. However, itโs also a great day out for experienced riders who just love to see the sights, take in the rest stops and gain that well earned medal!

Riders need to have finished the event by 19:00.
Many sections of the route, including parts of London, will be closed to traffic! Cyclists' bliss.
Return transport and bike transfer are offered on a first come first served basis, so remember to book this when you sign up.
You will receive support for both your training and your fundraising, making sure that you have the best possible cycling experience. Your charity place entry includes:
This classic ride is organised by the British Heart Foundation but supports a wide range of charities. Charities buy places in the event, then give them to riders who agree to raise money for the charity - these are called 'charity places'.

This was my first ever bike ride event and I couldn’t have picked a better one; everyone was so friendly and supportive on the day and the beach village really was the icing on the cake…a place to celebrate the epic challenge I just took on! I can’t wait to take part in the event again! Lee, L2B Cyclist
My team - what a superb and supportive bunch they are. Answering every question I had, using their experience and knowledge to get me up to scratch as a cyclist. When I signed up to the event, I had nothing...no bike, no cycling gear, not even a helmet. And the advice they offered, as well as the advice from the fundraising pack, really set me in great stead to take on this event. Lee, Team BHF 2018 captain
