This is a programme for novices and intermediate riders, although more experienced riders who are short of time will still benefit from following these guidelines.
Preparation is key, in reality you are unlikely to tick all these rides off, but use as a timetable, completing even half will put you in great position to ride The Pearson Brighton & Back Sportive more comfortably.
