Organiser's Description

We Need To Talk About Chevin is to put simply the worst possible scenario when touring the Chevin. Starting on Station Road with the first climb right out of the blocks heading straight up to Surprise view. Then right down to The West Gate and up again, then onwards to the famous Danefield climb then down to a loop of Poolscar Wood. The Far Eastern point is The Fells Plantation where you climb up alongside the power lines and back to Chevin Forest Park before making the final climb up Miller Lane and absolutely fly back down to Jonny Lane Back and Station Road.

The race starts and finishes on Station Road, but registration and post race refreshments come courtesy of The Black Horse, a fine pub with a courtyard ideal for post race celebration and tales of your adventure.
