(17) Leith Hill, (18) White Downs, (14) Box Hill, (16) White Lane, (20) Toys Hill, (15) York's Hill (19) The Wall, (22) Ditchling Beacon

We're embarking on Day One in memory of James Coghill, friend and fellow cyclist, who very sadly lost his battle with cancer earlier this year. All proceeds from today will go directly to James's family's chosen charities via his Just Giving page.

And it's a big day to kick things off in the hills of Surrey and Kent, where James did a lot of his cycling. There's 8 of the 100 Climbs, and quite a few more in between. Please join us, and help us get on our way.

A 65km circular route from Guildford is also available for this day which you can sign up for here.

Thanks to Savills, James's former employer, for so generously supporting the rides today.
