There will be checkpoints for refreshments and mechanical support along the way and a welcome village in Brighton. Transport back to London for you and your bike is also available for an additional £45.
If you're interested, all you need to do is let us know using the link below and we'll be in touch with details on how to register. Please do also pass these details on to anyone you know who may be up for the challenge!
