Evans Ride It! series of organised events heads to Dorking, Surrey for a ride around the North Downs on 6 December and in a first for the series, there will be a night ride on the Saturday evening.

Priory School, Dorking will be the event headquarters, and all rides will feature challenging climbs as Event Manager Dean Stacey explains: “There is a great deal of ascending at this event, however once up high riders will be rewarded with fantastic views atop of each of the major climbs, the courses gives riders a great workout and provides the perfect excuse to scoff a couple of mince pies guilt free this Christmas.”

There will be three pre-marked routes, ranging from 12-35 miles, and each event offers riders free SIS energy food and drink, a free Memory Map OS map for each rider, free kids entry and mechanical service.

Adult entry is £10 per rider. Entries can be purchased on the Evans Cycles website at www.evanscycles.com/rideit and are also taken on the day (subject to a £2.50 surcharge)

The series takes a short break over Christmas and returns on 10/11 January at Chieveley, Berkshire.
