UK's Hardest Hundred: Leith Hill - Brighton - Leith Hill

Leith Hill: 172km, 2206m

The ride starts on quiet Surrey lanes with a climb up to Leith Hill acting as a rude warm up for the legs. After a quick descent we head south into Sussex for some relatively quick rolling terrain. At 50km we hit Ditchling Beacon – 1.5km at almost 10% before descending into Brighton.

From the coast we have a 10km false flat / gentle climb and a some glorious miles in the South Downs before heading back to the Surrey Hills where two last climbs await – Barhatch Lane and back onto Leith Hill for the finish.
