Course guide and information

August 2006 sees the 10th annual Surrey League Revolutions 5-day cycle race taking place in Surrey and East and West Sussex.

Around 100 of Britain's top riders will be taking part in the gruelling 5 day long race. Each day they will cover around 100 miles - as well as climbing some of the steepest hills in South East England.

Starting on Friday 18th August, each day sees the participants racing on circuits in different parts of the Region. This year's route revisits some of the favourite spots from previous years such as the South Downs at Goodwood and the Ashdown Forest.

Day 1 - Friday 18th August, is based on Ewhurst in Surrey. HQ: Ockley Village Hall. Start Time 12:00.
Rolling countryside at its best with a bit of a sting in the tail! This is as high as it gets in Surrey.

Day 2 - Saturday 19th August, is based on Staplefield in West Sussex. HQ: Handcross Sports Pavilion. Start Time 12:00.
Long dragging climbs and lots of them. Good road surfaces except in the lanes.

Day 3 - Sunday 20th August, is based on Goodwood Motor Racing Circuit where the HQ will be.
The day starts with a time trial around Goodwood Motor Racing Circuit. Start Time 11:00.

This will be followed by a road race with a slight change from the course used for the last nine years. Two 'new' hills and each have a superb run down. The drop from Harting is seven miles long! Wonderful views from the tops if the day is fine! The late John Pendleton would be proud of us! Start Time 13:00.

Day 4 - Monday 21st August, is based at Wivelsfield East Sussex. HQ: Wivelsfield Parish Hall. Start Time 12:00.
These are the 'flat' roads of Sussex that aren't. Nothing steep but continually up and down on roads that are far from fast.

Day 5 - Tuesday 22nd August, is based at Crowborough and the Ashdown Forest in East Sussex. HQ All Saints Parish Hall, Crowborough. Start Time 12:00.
Dreamland! Everything one wants for a great stage - if you are a spectator! If you like long drags, steep hills, fast descents and beautiful scenery this is for you. Not a bit of flat anywhere and your introduction to 'The Wall'.

The riders will be racing for the coveted leader's yellow jersey which will be worn by the race leader every day. They will also be competing in 'hot spot' sprints along the route and trying to be first over the hills to take the title 'King of the Mountains'.

Previous winners of the event have gone on to represent England & Ireland in World Championships, the Commonwealth and Olympic Games. Last year's 460 mile long race was won by Duncan Urquhart with an overall time of 18hours 46minutes and 58seconds - an average speed of almost 25 mph!
