Fancy a fun cycle ride? Brighton and Hove CTC are holding their first randonnée style event, the "Brighton Breezy" on Sunday 8th Sept with a 70 km or 100 km bike ride in East Sussex and the Low Weald.
The circular route starts from the Sports Centre at Brighton University at 9 am then follows the A27 cycle path into Lewes where the ride will travel through the lanes past Barcombe Mills towards Ringmer. After 20 miles we reach the tea stop in the pretty village of Waldron. This is the halfway point for the shorter ride.
After tea and refreshments the ride continues along quiet lanes and returns back towards the centre of Lewes via Glyndebourne and Glynde. For the more energetic who fancy the longer route with a few hills your ride continues from the Waldron tea stop through old Heathfield and up through the Weald towards Mayfield and then Rotherfield, returning back to Waldron for your second tea stop before re- joining the shorter route back to Falmer
The event is not for profit. The £5 entry fee is to cover the costs of refreshments and signage on the route. Closing date in Sept 3rd
See http://www.brightonandhovectc.co.uk/ent ... 4577023677 or the website http://www.brightonandhovectc.co.uk for more details
This is a great introduction to an organised ride without the huge expense of more competitive style events. It's got to be worth it just for the tea and cake
Hope to see you there

Hi last weekend to enter our event run by a cycling club Sunday 8th Sept @ 9:00am. 70km route or the far more challenging 100km route with 3700ft of climbing. No timing chips (its not a sportive ) just £5 to enter ( by post). Its got to be worth it for the tea and cake
