Make 2009 a year to remember by taking part in The South Downs Way Challenge. Cycle the glorious South Downs Way through Sussex and Hampshire.

Last year our cycle challenges raised in excess of £80,000 for the Argus Appeal. All administration costs are covered by the Argus Newspaper therefore you can be assured that every penny raised goes directly to charity, unlike so many other charities.

Whether you are relatively new to cycling or an old hand, we are confident you will have fun and make new friends: what a great opportunity to set yourself a fitness target for the summer of 2009!
