Hell of the Ashdown Full!

You might be starting to think that we are part of the team putting the Sportive together with all the posts about it. I can assure you we aren’t, but if given the chance i am sure we would love to help out in years to come.

Dave and myself are just two budding sportive riders looking to get into something… if you haven’t already signed up to it i am afraid it is too late.

Event Full – Entries Closed

NO MORE ENTRIES ACCEPTED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES NO SUBSTITUTIONS
NO REFUNDS
The Catford Cycling Club support the Alzheimers Society
The HELL of the Ashdown Awesome! – 1,000 entries received and processed in 36 hours. Which must be something of a world record for a Sportive! Thank goodness the Catford Cycling Club invested in their own automatic computerised entry system which stood up to the strain.

A complete Sell-Out in 36 hours
So why is this event so popular?
Would any sane person welcome tackling a course so arduous that it is a real accomplishment to finish in a reasonable time – if at all?
