Description
This is the resumption of Chris Tracey's original "For those who don't do hills" ride from several years ago but renamed since there are hills.
Starting and finishing in Hailsham.
A ride taking in the levels near Hailsham to Cooden Beach, before climbs to Horam before tuning south to Firle via Golden Cross for a Village Hall control. After Firle we head west to and through Lewes before heading South to Newhaven and then onwards to Seaford. Instead of the previous climb to High & Over, we return to Hailsham via the easier road (only one climb) through Litlington, Wilmington and Arlington.
There will be a feed in Firle. All food is included in the price and includes the expected hot or cold drinks, sandwiches and my wife's homemade cakes.
If the roads are wet then mudguards would be welcome.
eBrevet validation is supported, but please read the instructions in the welcome letter.
A simple email will be sent to confirm entry.
See Route Sheet download for route sheet and welcome letter. GPX Track will be emailed to you, the week before the event.
The closest mainline railway station is at Polegate.
