Hassocks figure of 8

We will meet at the Bike Hut which is in The Hassocks Hotel pub car park, for 10.15 for 10.30am start. Its right next to the train station so easy to find and travel to by public transport if desired, and you can hire a bike there too if you need (please call them to book cycle hire if needed, saying you're on a Breeze ride for a discount rate - 07521 961909). We'll ride a variation of the Hassocks Circular Cycle Route 3 (Hassocks, Westmeston, Streat, Plumpton, Ditchling), avoiding the most muddy off-road sections. This is a repeat of the 15 mile, figure of 8 ride that we enjoyed in February and March. Here's a video of the February Breeze ride, if you want to see the road conditions (we recommend mountain, hybrid, or cylco cross bikes, as the route is partly off-road): http://youtu.be/1HO2mkbqWNQ We also made a video of our ride of this route in March: http://youtu.be/S2l4x2gUZjM If you want a map and elevation graph, here it is: http://connect.garmin.com/activity/285774521 THIS RIDE IS ONLY SUITABLE FOR MOUNTAIN, HYBRID, OR CYCLO-CROSS BIKES! Bring spare inner tube, drink, and layers of clothing to put on when we stop. A rain jacket’s a good idea too, regardless of the weather forecast. We'll relax and socialise over Sunday lunch in the Hassocks Hotel at the end of the ride (only £5!). Partners, friends, and family are welcome to join us for Sunday lunch (we should get back to the pub around 13:00). It's only adult ladies on the ride, but anyone's warmly welcome to social time afterwards!
