Sunset Ride: 9th July - South Downs Views

On Thursday 9th July, we're leaving promptly at 6.30 pm from the WOLFOX Coffee & Health Café (The Level, St Peter's Pl, Brighton and Hove, Brighton BN1 4SB).

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.

Please get to the café earlier if you want to grab a drink before riding.

This is a 20-mile ride, and we will finish the ride at BISON BEACH BAR @ SEA LANES on the seafront at 300 Madeira Drive, Brighton, BN2 1BX  for a social pint and some food!

Please note: All our rides are weather-dependent. If the weather looks bad, a ride will be cancelled!
Also, please note any weather alerts for the evening, and respond appropriately to heatwave information. Always bring plenty of water to drink when the weather is hot.

If you plan to come on any of our rides, please make sure your cycle is in a roadworthy condition. Bring a puncture repair kit, a spare inner tube (or, for tubeless tyres, as appropriate), essential tools, a mobile phone if you have one, snacks, enough to drink, and sunscreen/waterproofs/warm clothing as appropriate. Don't forget your lights if you expect to be out in the hours of darkness. Please follow Cycling UK guidance and the Highway Code.

Check with us about the distance and the ride's hilliness if you are unsure.
Ideally, ride a Hybrid - Gravel Bike.
