Nope just turn up at the sports centre car park on Sussex Uni campus.

They are a great bunch of guys and know some fantastic "secret" trails round Stanmer Park. The milage is not too high but the grin factor is.

I'm not able to get over there tonight to join them but there's always a group there ready to make new comers very welcome.

If you like singletrack then you'll love it ๐Ÿ˜€

Just get there 15 mins early, try and find Mike ( Ti Ht ) Say Hi. It will be abit messy up there tonight. There are some good sections of singletrack, and some short sharp climbs. Its a little fast and furious out the car park , so if you need a little time to warm up teh legs suggest a few sprints round the car park.
All good riders, technical , very friendly and enthusiastic.

Be warned if your riding the singletrack round the back of stanmer 'the secret trails ๐Ÿ˜‰ rode it monday night and someones put a lot of logs, branches, etc every 20ft or so across the trail, pretty much along the whole length of the second trail, cleared the bigger ones. One branch got into the front wheel and ripped out some spokes so now got to replace them and re-true the wheel.

Always worries me when someone starts sabbotaging trails as you never know what coming round the corner (esp at night)

It was fine last night - no sabbotage noted!

I might make it tonight too, if it's still dry in Brighton by 6.30, is my plan. Pi$$ing it down here in Horsham!
