DOes anyone have a route for this ride, as i want to meet up with one of our colleagues in a car during the ride, espcially towards the end i can get changed into something more relaxing for the finish!

    It goes up Ditchling road/beacon ( from the village of Ditchling to the A27)just before going into Brighton. It is a mega steep hill that most people end up pushing their bike up and then collapsing at the top (depending on how far they managed to ride up it). If my memory seves me correctly there is a big grassy area at the top. Would probs be a good place to meet friends as they can cheer the people who actually manage to cycle up it. After that it is all downhill into Brighton.

    trust me; the signs are already up.

    Ditchling Beacon's a doddle; just take it nice and easy.
