Organiser's Description
From start to finish, the beautiful quiet lanes are constantly up and down like a restless child, the small climbs robbing you of momentum, then the following descents gifting it back. Many of the inclines are so slight you’ll not notice them until the legs send back a message to click down a gear or two, their increase in gradient invisible to the naked eye.
Visiting the three counties of Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and Essex the routes navigate around the towns of Haverhill, Saffron Walden and Sudbury thus avoiding areas of congestion, allowing you to enjoy the free-flowing traffic-free roads. From one idyllic village to the next between the high hedgerows and farmland your cares will simply drift away as you cruise around this sleepy part of England.
With no savage climbs to note but continuously undulating, the Suffolk Spring Classic is the perfect Sportive to wake the legs up from their winter hibernation or to begin your Sportive journey.
