Sussex Lanes and Bridleways - 14 miles - (bike hire available)

Meet at the bike hut in the car park of The Hassocks Hotel, right next to Hassocks train station (so you can catch the train to the start point if you want). Be there by 10:15 latest so we can make a start by 10:30. Part of the "Visit Hassocks" cycle routes already mapped out and available here: http://www.hassockscommunitycyclehire.com/routes/ Route 2 is the one we plan to ride, we've made it a 14 mile circuit, mostly on quiet country roads. We’ve adapted it slightly to avoid the most muddy sections. Click here to see a video of the route - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHlhR45u2NU&feature=share&list=PLhv7vjfpgBpfHSCXw4jH0WKei48QuXndj. We’ll ride at a leisurely-slow pace and never leave anyone behind. We'll stay together as a group, hoping all will help each other and encourage everyone to participate and enjoy the area. Don’t have a bike?  You can hire one on the day from Hassocks Community Cycle Hire at a small cost.  You’ll need to book in advance and don’t forget to tell them you’re on a Breeze ride to get discount. We'll be back at The Hassocks Hotel in time for their Sunday lunch (amazing value at £5!). Family and friends are welcome to join us for the lunch, as long as we know so that we can reserve a table (we'll check before we set off on the ride). You will need layers to put on when we stop; a drink and snack; spare inner tube and a waterproof whatever the weather forecast is saying. For more information on other Breeze ride taking place in the area see our Breeze network South Downs Facebook page. Look forward to seeing you there!  Don’t forget…. Breeze are on a mission to spread the word about their rides, and need your help. If you introduce one friend who goes on to take part in a Breeze ride, you’ll receive a Breeze water bottle, introduce a second friend, you’ll be the proud owner of one of their swish Breeze Buffs, and introduce a third friend and Breeze will send you £15 of Love2Shop vouchers.
