• Hi, I am planning a 4 days loop south of London for this coming weekend (Friday's off)
    If anyone has got any idea it's more than welcome. Cycling with the missus so 60-80km/day will be the target roughly.

  • If the weather stays nice, go to Brighton and back. It's 'easy' to do in a day per direction, but over two days would be nice and relaxed. Plus, fish n chips and ice cream.

  • As an addendum to the Brighton-and-back idea, I can recommend maybe going/coming back via Eastbourne. I did round trip to Eastbourne last weekend, and discovered (a) where the Ashdown Forest is, and that (b) inland of Eastbourne is a lot flatter than inland of Brighton, because it's on the Eastern extent of the South Downs. (It's still a lumpy ride, mind.) The B2026 from Westerham, through Edenbridge, Hartfield and Maresfield is a very pleasant road and it's easy enough to navigate to Eastbourne avoiding the A22 from there.

  • (and @PhilPub) Thanks!

    I did the Brighton and back several times, last of which two weeks back. But the idea of reaching out to Hastings and then loop around Eastbourne/Alfriston is kind of what I was thinking so far.. I'll see if I can develop it a bit
