well i did end up getting down to the downs this morning, and what a super ride it was too. ended up doing the singletrack 40km loop starting at lewes, was having to stop at every junction to look at my little map but got round in the end, beautiful weather that started cloudy and got better and better, and very nice views out to the sea and back inland. thanks both of the chaps who sent me alternative routes, i’ll keep them saved give them a go next time(s)!
i did go past the stanmer tea rooms and the juggs pub, but ended up doing it non-stop (apart from map checks every 1/2 mile!) in 3 hours 10 mins. great stuff. 🙂
by the way, crossed paths with 3 helpful chaps, one local on a very nice singlespeed jones. meant to ask but most likely they’re on here. if so, hello!
