Entries for the Hell of the Ashdown Challenge will open at midnight on Saturday October 27.
The sportive, which will take place on Sunday February 24 2013, started life as the Catford Reliability Trial and is a popular fixture in the early season calendar.
Riders can choose from 50km and 100km routes, taking in a series of the south east’s toughest climbs, including Brasted Chart, The Wall, Ashdown Forest, Bayley’s Hill and the sting in the tail, Star Hill.
Entries are limited to 1,500 riders and the 2012 even sold out in 20 hours so set your alarm to secure a spot. Visit www.hell.gb.com for more information.
