After over 300 riders hit the trails for Trail Break’s recent Summit 65 Enduro warm up from Princes Risborough, the season steps up to the next level this Saturday with their first full Southern 100 on the South Downs near Chichester.
Starting from the village of Duncton on the north side of the Downs ridge, the epic 100km course winds up onto and
around the Downs taking in a series of climbs and descents that are breathtaking in every sense! The South Downs already has a towering reputation in the MTB world, for the 100 mile South Downs Way that runs along it’s length. By winding a 100k loop over the high chalk ridge and dropping off of it’s steep shoulders, Trail Break have created a true Enduro ride in the heart of the South.
Alongside the full 100k is a 60k enduro option as well as two of Trail Break’s regular Southern Trail ride distances for those who just fancy a 15 or 25 mile hack. All distances will be fully way-marked, plus you’ll get a back up map as well and, if you pre enter before 5pm on Thursday 6th May, GPS files of the route to pre load too. The Enduro routes will feature a manned feed and support station as well, to keep you fuelled and fit to complete the ride.
As at all Trail Break events, SIS will be providing free energy drink, and hot food, drinks and snacks will be available back at base, including the best post-ride chilli in the business!
The Southern 100 season rolls on through the summer, visiting Swindon for a Ridgeway 100 on June 19th, and then Woodcote, north of Reading for a Chilterns epic on August 14th. You can book up and get more information at trailbreak.co.uk, or call 0118 988 6041 for answers to those pressing questions.
