London to Brighton (and back) question

spearmint_wino

Been offered a place on this weekend's L2B ride - stepping in for someone who can't do it.

To make it worthwhile I'm going to do the return trip too, does anyone know if the A27 has a cycle path / cycle lane along the entire section to Lewes?

Obviously cycling back against the flow of riders coming from London is a no-go and this looks like the next most obvious way to get out of Brighton.

Thanks

I seem to recall it does but I never rode it in all the time I lived in Brighton so I can't be sure. The more scenic (but longer) route is to follow the coast out to Newhaven then head North up Lewes Road.

Alternatively, you could do a variation of the Hyde Park to Hove ride to get back. https://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?msid= ... 1c3c&msa=0

yes it does...back along the lewes rd from brighton joins A27...cycle path on the left hand side heading to lewes all the way to lewes...follow the path past the univesity rejoins the A27

Thanks people, that's my route back sorted then.
