I thought it might be interesting to some of the Southern area Tribanists so here's some info about it: Cyclo-sportive in aid of a local charity: Gentle South Downs GiantGoodwood, West Sussex, 10th August 2013 www.GSDGiant.org.ukGiant 104 miles : Spirit 76 miles : Demon 44 miles The GSD Giant sweeps through the picturesque lanes of West Sussex and Hampshire in support of a locally based charity, the AGSD-UK. Setting out from the magnificent Goodwood Racecourse the route circumnavigates the South Downs National Park between Petworth in the east and the Meon Valley in the west; passing through some of the prettiest villages and hamlets in the South of England. Cycling by green rolling pastures, ancient woodlands, river valleys and wetlands within one of BritainΒΉs most accessible breathing spaces you'll experience an exhilarating and challenging sportive and you'll be helped to recuperate afterwards with hot food and refreshments. The AGSD-UK is a small charity that supports children and families living with Glycogen Storage Disease (GSD); a very rare group of genetic conditions affecting the liver and muscles.

What distance are you doing?
I rode 30 off road miles on south downs a couple of years ago, bloody hard work!
Bit too far for me and not free but good luck.

Yup you will need it! The luck that is, enjoy yourselves. Just too far from the west midlands for me.
