Breeze Training Ride 5 (HILLS!): Hove loop to Poynings

Join us on a loop ride up to Pyecombe and Poynings. Suitable for road bikes, hybrids, or mountain bikes.

After warming up and checking all our gears work by doing a loop or two of Hove Park, we'll head over to pick up the cycle path alongside the A23 north, taking us up to Pyecombe. Following a café stop at Rushfields Garden Centre in Poynings, we’ll head back into Brighton along the Saddlecombe Road, with the main hills of this ride. If you want to see a map of our route, here it is: http://connect.garmin.com/activity/459317745 This is the fifth of a series of TRAINING RIDES, for women wanting to increase their speed, endurance, or hill climbing ready for longer rides in the summer. If you've entered a sportive or challenge ride such as Diva Sussex, Cycletta, or London to Brighton, then this Saturday afternoon series will help you get ready. This fifth ride has plenty of hills coming back along the Saddlescombe Road although the route out alongside the A23 is less hilly. Please bring spare inner tube, layers to keep warm, money for the café stop, and water. If you have any questions about the ride, contact the ride leader Alison (07967 094967)
