• The Downs Link is a good route for a social ride. You can cover a lot of ground quickly, but it is kind of boring. What astonished me is that no cafes have sprung up to serve all those cyclists passing by.
    If you take the equivalent kind of route in France, there's a cafe with toilets every mile or two.
    Even the South Downs has cafes on the route.

    There used to be an excellent one half way called Stans Bike Shack, but it closed due to rent cost or something which is a shame.
