Hove to Lewes and back

Join us on a ride out to the historic County town of Lewes for tea and cake in one of its many cafes. We'll be aiming for an average speed of 10mph. We'll head out along the cycle lanes on the Old Shoreham Road, drop down to cross Brighton, then pick up Regional Cycle Route 90 out of Brighton towards Lewes with cycle lanes almost all the way. We'll pass the Universities of Brighton and Sussex as well as the football stadium at Falmer and be separated from traffic on the cycle lane all the way out to Lewes. Once there, we'll pause for tea and cake before settting off to return. On the way back through Brighton, we'll head for the cycle path along the seafront to avoid a steep climb at the end of our ride.

If you're tired by the time we get to Lewes, you have the option of catching the train back to Brighton or Hove. Please bring spare inner tube, layers to keep warm, and water.
