80 and 60 mile routes

Chip timed. Fully signed. Refreshment stations.

£20 early bird available soon

The Surrey Rumble is a Twickenham CC organised and run event. It takes place across 80 mile [125km] and 60 mile [95km] routes through the Surrey Hills using out and back loops from event HQ at Downside Village Hall.

This friendly event is managed and run entirely by club members, with the very sensible exception of first aid provision. It has grown from 50 or so riders in its first year to 200+ entrants in the last few years.

ENTRY FEE: £19 [+ £1 admin fee] via the British Cycling website: Enter

Places fill up quickly as it’s one of the very few early season sportives, and very popular with local riders, due to its friendly atmosphere and reasonable price – £20, which remains unchanged from previous years.

Start / Finish Time

First rider: 09:00;   Last rider: 10.00;  Event close: 15:00

Thus, the last rider has five hours to complete their chosen route – 12mph / 19kmph for the short route or 16mph / 25 kmph for the long route

Checkpoints / Refreshment Stops

Checkpoint & refreshment points are at Fishers Farm and Tongham Community Centre, both of which we are very grateful to for their very kind assistance.
