Ride for lunch at 'Babylon' on the edge of the Ashdown Forest
Event description
On 24th May, we're meeting at Wolfox on The Level, St Peter's Place Brighton BN1 4SB (where Pelicano used to be) to start riding at 10.30 am, so please get to the café earlier if you want to have a cup of coffee before leaving!
We'll cycle up Ditching Road to proceed north until a light lunch break after 40km at Babylon - The Kitchen (TN22 3JP), where there is a selection of pastries and sandwiches.
On the way back, we will pass through Lewes, Falmer, and follow a scenic cycle way to the coast to return to Brighton.
This is approximately a 50 mile route with some gentle hills, mainly along cycle lanes and quiet roads.
Check with us about the distance and hilliness of the ride if you are unsure.
