Breeze around Friston Forest. (mellow yellow)

We will ride into up into the woods from the car park and get on the trail. We will then take our time and ride a loop of the park. This will take us through the forest. We will stop to take a drink and snack on board and to enjoy the stunning views at various points. This is labelled as a beginners ride, but there is a steady incline at the start of the ride which is about 1 km long - so be prepared for a climb. At the end of the ride we will stop at the coffee truck in Cuckmere Haven.

Helmets are mandatory please. Bikes need to be in good working order. Please check your bike is trail worthy before coming to ride. (I am not a bike mechanic)

We will leave the busyness behind and get on some of the superb trails in Friston Forest, Exeat. Here we will weave through the woods on undulating ground. We will be able to see views of the South Downs as well as a myriad of fauna and flora. Once we have completed our forest loop we will head down to Cuckmere Haven on the cycle path and have our snack and drink on the beach. We will then head back to the car park.

We will be riding on traffic free trails. We will be sharing the trails with other riders as well as walkers, dogs and children. Hybrid bikes, mountain bikes or cross bikes will be best suited.

There is a coffee truck at the car park in Cuckmere Haven. We will stop here on the way back to the car park.

Please bring some snacks and a drink with you. If it is very sunny, ensure you use sun factor cream. Make sure your bike is in good working order. Bring a spare inner tube and tools incase you have a puncture.

First-timers welcome!
