This weekend sees the Southdowns Bikes Sporting Time Trial Weekend on Saturday 4th February & Sunday 5th February. IG Markets/Sigma Sport rider Wouter Sybrandy headlines the event starting last both days and up against Under 23 Time Trial Champion Douglas Dewey and In Gear/Train Sharp rider Pete Tadros to name but three of the riders racing.
COURSE DETAILS
Both courses are on roads that are normally fairly well surfaced, though it is February and the weather has taken its toll on all Sussex roads. You need to pay full attention as there are a number of pot holes which are best avoided if you value your wheels and your neck! The terrain is arduous, rather than savage, with the top riders probably not using the small ring. There are some quick descents, none of which are “technicalâ€, but descending through Houghton needs 100% attention in case any cars pull out of any of the minor roads. The start, which is the same on both days, is about a 10 minute ride from the HQ on Saturday and 2 minutes on Sunday (5 minutes from the main car park), but do allow for local traffic, especially on Saturday.
To reach the start each day:
Saturday: Leave the HQ turning right into the road out of the car park. Descend to mini-roundabout where turn right. Proceed through village to roundabout by mini-Tesco store/petrol station where take second exit heading towards Amberley. The start is about half a mile along this road.
Sunday: Leave the HQ turning left to mini RAB. Take second exit towards Amberley. The start is about half a mile along this road.
After finishing on Saturday, pass back through the start to the mini-roundabout, turn right. Proceed through village to mini-roundabout and turn left to climb out of Storrington (sorry!) to HQ on left.
EVENTS
Saturday 4th January – GS/988 – 18km
Course & Event Record: Wouter Sybrandy 24:31
Start on B2139 by footpath sign at entrance to Kithurst Farm and almost opposite New Town Road, Storrington (TQ077141). Proceed southwest on B2139 via Amberley and Houghton to Whiteways Lodge roundabout (9.4km).(Check & Marshals). Encircle roundabout (CARE) and retrace on B2139, taking care on the descent through Houghton village to finish at point opposite large oak tree situated approximately mid-way along lay-by on south side of road approximately 1km short of start.
Sunday 5th February – GS/989 – 34km
Course & Event Record: Wouter Sybrandy 47:16
Start on B2139 by footpath sign at entrance to Kithurst Farm and almost opposite New Town Road, Storrington (TQ077141).
Proceed southwest on B2139 via Amberley and Houghton to Whiteways Lodge roundabout (Marshals). Take second exit (straight on) now on A29 and proceed to Fontwell East roundabout (15.5km).(Check & Marshal).  Take first exit (left) and follow A27 to Arundel West roundabout. Take first exit on to A284 to climb to Whiteways Lodge roundabout (Marshals). Take third exit to retrace outward route on B2139, taking care on the descent through Houghton village to
Finish at point opposite large oak tree situated approximately mid-way along lay-by on south side of road approximately 1km short of start. Please continue to follow the route that you are on unless race signs and/or marshals indicate otherwise. It is intended to marshal all junctions that require you to leave the road that you are on and appropriate signage will be in place.
HEADQUARTERS
STORRINGTON VILLAGE HALL at the western end of Storrington (heading towards the start) just East of the mini RAB north of the start and on the South side of the Road. THERE IS NO PARKING AT THE HQ ITSELF. There is limited on-street parking near the HQ and plenty of parking at the Chanctonbury Leisure Centre, Spierbridge Road, Storrington. To reach this from Storrington, pass the HQ and at the mini-RAB (garage/Tesco) keep straight on towards Pulborough. At the mini-roundabout turn right into Spierbridge Road and then LEFT into the Leisure Centre car park. Please park considerately as we will be sharing the car park with Leisure Centre users. It is a 5 minute walk from the car park to the HQ.
Spectators
Good spectator points include the car park on Houghton Hill (both days, about 8km from the start), lay-bys on the A27 on Sunday (riders should be going quite quickly), and the climb from Arundel to Whiteways Lodge on Sunday, though there is very limited parking opportunity on this climb (no problem if you ride to it though); if riders are going to suffer it will be here – tired legs, long climb…..
