The Surrey Monster is Sponsored by Moda Bikes and Supports Action Medical Research
We’re thrilled to announce that Moda is the official sponsor for the 17th edition of the Spring Onion! With Moda’s passion for high-quality cycling, this partnership takes our event to the next level.
Since 2009, Moda has been dedicated to crafting high-quality bicycles, designed, tested, and assembled in the UK. Their passionate team, with decades of cycling experience, works tirelessly to create bikes that deliver an unbeatable riding experience. Tested on the challenging roads of Lancashire and refined with input from top athletes, Moda bikes are built to perform. Assembled by expert mechanics in the UK, every Moda bike is ready to offer you the best ride from day one.
Moda are supplying two frames as prizes with a twist. One goes to the man who is timed as the 47th fastest in the male category and the other one goes to the woman who is the 7th fastest in the female category.
The Spring Onion is now in its 17th edition and we couldn’t be happier. We have altered the course on a few occasions over the years and feel we are close to the perfect course , in 2026 we will be adding in Shere Climb , CrockNorth and back in after road works is Coombe Lane.
With that in mind we have decided to reset the event times , start 08:30 , feed closes at 13:00 and event finishes at 16:00 , so if you rode in 2025 then factor in the extra climbs for 2026.
Support and Mechanical back thanks to PEDAL ACTIVE
