On Thursday, the 25th of June, we're leaving promptly at 6.30 pm from the Rotunda Café Bar, Preston Park, Preston Rd, Brighton BN1 6HN and riding at a social pace. 

Today's ride will take us to a great view from the South Downs Way

Chase the golden hour on two wheels. Join us for short, social sunset rides through quiet roads, South Downs National Park, coast paths and the rolling hills around Brighton, the perfect way to unwind after work, enjoy the long summer evenings, and explore some of the most beautiful natural trails on our doorstep, small groups, easy loops, good company.
