Notable climbs of the area include hills such as Kidds Hill, and the infamous short but steep Cob Lane hill. But that's not all, at the end of the ride things really start to get tough with all routes climbing Ditchling Beacon and then later in Brighton itself the final climbs of Coombe Rd and Bear Road which should be enough hills for most people. Riders finally descend towards Brighton's Seafront to finish on Madeira Drive where all the usual SRS Events hospitality will be in action. The event is raising fund for the Sussex Heart Charity.
