All, This month we're back to the South Downs and the glorious downland hills around Firle. ![]() ![]() We're also hooking up with our friends at Quantum Cycles, whose company (and lovely bike shop) we enjoyed back in December 2012 when they were first starting out. What: 15-25 miles of downland loveliness. Expect big views, chalky trails, some climbs, some descents. It'll make you smile Shouldn't be a technically difficult ride, expect slippy chalk if it does rain. When: Sunday 25th Aug. 10 for 10:30 roll. Expect to be out for 4 hours ish, please come self sufficiently food wise. Yes its a bank holiday weekend - you have the Monday to recover and do family things! Where: Quantum Cycles (next to Sussex Hand Gliding and Paragliding), A27 nr Firle. The meet point is marked 'A', they only have space for 13 cars so you can also park on the road at 'B' (a quiet side road) and cycle back to us via the new cycle lane on the north side of the A27. http://goo.gl/maps/Po9P6 Note: There's a further chance that it's a flying day for the hang gliding guys and girls - if this is the case it'll probably bad form for us to hog their car park - I'll advise this nearer the time. worst case we may have to control car park access and send you across the road as per the map above. Another (and slightly more exciting) note: Quantum have a couple of bikes available for a demo. If you're interested in a shiny new bike (with one of these new fangled wheel sizes) then do contact Quantum directly to arrange (google them for their contact info). If they get loads of interest then they might get even more demo bikes in for the day! (ah and boring disclaimer note: We have no commercial relationship with Quantum cycles - they are just friendly local people and kindly allowed us to use the hang gliding "classroom" when we last rode here in December - made a change from a freezing cold car park! Other bike shops are available )As ever, we'll bring tea and coffee, you bring the cakes ![]() so - who's there? R |

Maybe we will learn the truth on Sunday...)Both Donna and I will be there - and both riding as we have babysitters for the weekend (hurrah) Who else is coming then? R |

I was going to time my SDW ride to coincide with arriving at that part of the downs at around 11am, but due to the English weather I'm forced to rearrange and move it forward, won't be leaving Winchester till Sunday afternoon. So I won't be seeing you now, have fun! |
