Hassocks to Horsted Keynes for lunch

On Sunday 11th October 2026, we're leaving promptly at 10.30 am from Proper Cycling and Coffee café at 26 Keymer Rd, Hassocks BN6 8AN. Please get to the café early if you want to have a cup of coffee before leaving.

This ride will be a round trip starting and ending in Hassocks, going out along mainly quiet roads to have lunch at The Green Man pub at Horsted Keynes, RH17 7AS and then back via Dane Hill. Please let the ride leader know by Saturday morning if you want to eat at the pub. See "Contact details" on this page.  

You are also welcome to bring your own packed lunch to have in a nearby spot if you prefer to do that.

The route is hilly (710m of elevation) and roughly 37 miles / 59.7km. Mornings have been slightly foggy recently so bring lights. 

The route is on Komoot and there is a downloadable gpx file at the link below.
