  • I know this isn't exactly what you're looking for (i.e Dorking) but it'll get you down to Brighton from Reigate with some off-road:

    I hope it's of some use.

    Escul I see you posted this question on a few blogs - did you do the route and can you recommend a map, best direction etc?
    Planing on doing the trip mid-April and lookibng for mostly off-road.
    Thanks
  • Anybody got a link to the route described in MBR (Dorking to Brighton night ride)? Hoping to do the ride early May but as yet only a little idea of the route they took.

    I did this a few weeks ago, best i could tell from the MBR article:

    once you hit the south downs you can choose to keep going straight down to Shoreham then along the coast, but i recommend going up onto the south downs as its a bit more scenic.
    It's the vibe of the thing.
