*Cancelled* SWRC May Flyer Sportive

*Cancelled because of coronavirus. Please see event website for further details.*

This is the 22nd consecutive year we have run this event and its popularity has increased each time it has taken place. There is a choice of two routes, both fully road marked. The Flyer 90km route meanders around the North Downs while the 162km Flyer Challenge crosses the North Downs on the way to Amberley in Sussex before returning along a different set of mainly country lanes.

Both rides are challenging and the routes cross the picturesque climbs of Staple Lane, Coombe Bottom, and Pitch Hill, and follow the beautiful, quiet, country lanes of Surrey and West Sussex.

Both routes start and finish from Cobham Village Hall, Lushington Dr, Cobham KT11 2LU

We encourage cyclists, where practicable, to take public transport to the event or cycle. There is, however, plentiful car parking space at Holly Hedge car park just around the corner – it's huge and usually empty and there is no parking charge on Sundays.

Sign on from 0745, with a rolling start from 0815 in small groups of 20 riders. The latest time that riders can set off is 0930. Teas, coffees, and biscuits will be available prior to the event.  

Entries are limited to 500 riders.  There are NO entries taken on the day.

There will be a timing chip check at the start and finish.

Refreshments will be available at two feed stations and at the beginning and end of the event. Sandwiches, home made cakes and hot drinks, and catering for gluten free, vegetarian and vegan diets. There will be a SAG wagon to pick up any riders as necessary.

Both routes will be fully marked with arrows on the tarmac, together with our traditional distinctive yellow sign boards. Emergency contact details will be sent to all riders by e-mail in advance of the event. Cyclists are strongly reminded that they are responsible for their own and other cyclists' safety at all times. Please remember this is not a race, but riders completing for thier own satistaction regards time.
