South Downs Way

Make 2008 a year to remember by taking part in one of The Argus Appeal’s exciting cycle challenges. Whether it’s cycling the glorious South Downs Way through Sussex and Hampshire or pottering along disused railway lines and canal paths directly into the heart of Paris, you can be sure that it will be a ride to remember!

Last year both rides 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 2008!
