Let the smell of fresh coffee and yesterday's stale cake from the Stanmer Park Tearooms fuel your descent through the twisty singletrack. A few line choices add to the fun, offering opportunity to overtake. Hold your nerve as you thread together the twist and turns, watch out for people come up
Don't let the roadies on the Starva leaderboard get you down, a quick time is 2:15.
