The EASTBOURNE CRITERIUM for 4th category riders is being held over the exciting closed road circuit centred on King Edward's Parade and South Cliff, and starting/finishing in front of the Grand Hotel, providing fantastic viewing points for spectators. A fast descent, technical turns and a short lung busting climb will test the riders on each lap.

The EASTBOURNE GRAND PRIX ROAD RACE will feature ten fast laps of the closed road circuit before the riders depart over the infamous Beachy Head which includes the climb up Dukes Drive, a fast descent into East Dean followed by the twisty ascent to the summit of Beachy Head. After two tortuous laps a fast descent back down Dukes Drive with a finish in front of the crowds on King Edwards parade. A challenge for 3rd category male, female and junior riders alike.

The time trials will be held over the closed road circuit with a target time set for the course for all comers to try and beat.
