The Devils Punchbowl 100

Description

112km cycling event starting from The Steyning Centre, Steyning, W Sussex. Controls at Thursley and Steyning.

A ride to the Devils Punchbowl, Hindhead followed by a feed control near Thursley.

Entry fee covers food at start, control and finish. No Info Controls. No entries on the line.

Final Welcome Letter, Routesheet and GPX track will be sent to online entrants the week before the event. On request for postal entries.

Stage 1 (55k) Initially leaving Steyning on the A283 towards Storrington, before crossing the A24 to get onto minor roads / country lanes through Thakeham and Adversane. After Adversane there is a short stretch on the A272 before we are back on minor roads / country lanes through Loxwood, Plaistow and Gospel Green, before arriving in Haslemere. Here we are back on a main road before turning off on a country lane towards the climb at Glenlea and Hindhead. After Hindhead we are on the QUIET LANE (no cars) around the Devils Punchbowl to the Thursley Control.

Stage 2 (56k) An amendment to the 2019 route to avoid the climb back towards the Devils Punchbowl. Instead we head on a single-track lane through Bowlhead Green to join the original route through Brook, Sandhill and Chiddingfold, before minor roads through Plaistow, Kirdford and Wisborough Green. A slightly longer stretch on the A272 returns us to the minor roads through Adversane, Ashington and Wiston. From Wiston I’ve decided to use Spithandle Lane which although slightly longer, avoids the busy Sunday afternoon traffic on the A283 before our Arrivee in Steyning and final feed.
