Surrey Legs of Steel
DAVE AITCHINSON CHALLENGE RIDE
Date: 27th September 2008
The Surrey Legs of Steel 2008 organised by the Ful-On Tri Triathlon Club is a challenging cyclosportive in the Surrey Hills starting and finishing in Box Hill.
The ride will take place on Saturday 27th September 2008, with riders rolling out between 8am and 9am. There will be two routes - 81k & 46k - with plenty of hills to stretch your legs on!
The short route at 46k is no easy option with 1020m of climbing - it's just shorter! Riders taking the short route will experience five major climbs: Ranmore Hill, Leith Hill, Holmbury Hill, White Down Hill (an 18% climb!) and finish with the ZigZag at Box Hill.
The long route at 81k has 1600m of climbing and will take riders up eight major climbs: Ranmore Hill, Leith Hill, Holmbury Hill, Winterfold Hill (an awesome 21% climb!), St Martha's Hill, Coombe Bottom Hill, Dunley Hill and again finishing with the ZigZag at Box Hill.
The event is held to commemorate Dave Aitchison, a rising star in British triathlon and Ful-On Tri club member who died suddenly in January 2007 aged 29. The Surrey Legs of Steel event, now in its second year, will be open to anyone with a passion for cycling and the thigh-burning Surrey hills where Dave did so much of his training for his spectacular 2006 season.
All profits from the event will go towards Dave Aitchison SportsAid Fund set up in Dave's name by his family and the club to assist talented young triathletes in the Triathlon London region. For more details about the fund and to make a donation, please visit:
