|
|
*EDIT*
Now doing an old railway line route from Hailsham to Wessons
Big car park in Hailsham will google map later for you
Ready for off at 10am
*EDIT ENDS*
Any one fancy peddling up the South Downs? No, me neither but thats what a few of us are thinking of doing!
This is an organised event and they even charge you for the pleasure
Three distances, I am needless to say entering the shortest which is only 12-17 miles long

I likes the A285 @ Duncton
Not got the required kind of bike nor level of fitness for that I'm afraid. GLWT _________________

Ahhh.... so that's what all the coffee and cakes were for on Sunday ... you were in training! Sorry, didn't realize!

I may be interested, it will depend on how much bike work I can get done before then.
I am, howevever, thinking of doing the 27 mile off road route on the following event, if I do not do a run with my local Triathlon club (that means buying a road bike) on the same day.

Perhaps this could be a practice ride before V's South Downs run? |

feck. Can't do this - my last day with my girls before I go to Cuba... can do 23rd October though (or happy to lead a similar route on an alternate date, free of charge???!) _________________ An open mouth is a straight line to the mind.

''Course Clearing Begins - 11:00am
Course clearers will remove signage and back mark the ride. They will not overtake last riders.''
At least you won't be last then!!!!
Any sponsorship needed?

Yes I am.
As a last resort I can take my city bike, although I am not very keen, last time I used it off road I had to buy a new rear wheel...
Thanks.X |

I am going to admit that I am not nearly fit enough for this ride so have decide to do a more normal ride, not decide yet but likely to be one of our regular old railway line rides.
Which is the one that ends up at Wessons? Cant recal where the start is?
Hope everyone understands and is happy to save the £12 entry fee and spend it on a spot of lunch instead _________________

I'm not fit enough either for anything too hilly
You're talking about the Cuckoo Trail there.... starts in Hailsham
Have to do the Penshurst one again (shortened route) as well sometime soon... I am keen to start riding again though _________________ Boxhill Chippendales

Or you could start in Heathfield. Drops down to Hailsham so up on the way back, but it's an old railway line so the gradient wouldn't be too much for anyone. You'd have to do Wessons on the way back of course.
I might actually drag myself out to this one, sod the knee! See my sig'. _________________ So many roads, so little time. |

I think Hailsham to Wessons as prefer the slight up hill on way out rather than on the homeward leg
What time should we be ready for off though, 10am? in that car park by the tunnel??? _________________
