Sussex Lanes and Bridleways - (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. Our route is part of the "Visit Hassocks" cycle routes already mapped out and available here:http://www.visithassocks.co.uk/resources/Hassocks_cycleroute_4.pdf  Route 4 is the one we'll ride; it's part on and off road. Mountain bike would be preferable but a good quality hybrid is also ok. Skinny or very slick tyres would not be suitable. 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.
