Yep that be one of mine :)
You can enter on the line but it is chaos so better to enter early, 1700m of climbing on the 100km Grimpeur route, 850m on the 50km Hilly.
Out of Otford up Rowdow hill, down Exedown, up over Ightam Mote, up One Tree Hill, down River Hill, up Hubbards Hill, down Baileys and then up Yorks before heading back to Otford.
If you ride the 100km you go back in reverse and go down all the hills you went up and up the ones you went down.
I route checked it on 68" fixed and had to walk Yorks and One Tree hill they have 1 in 4 sections and almost walked Exedown, most who ride it fixed do it on a low sixty gear, I know I will the next time I try it.
180 entrants last year with 138 of them on the 100km ride.
Tea and biscuits free at the start and through the day, cheese or ham rolls usually 15p each any fancy dietary requirements tell me or best bring something with you :)
