My first ride report on this thread and it was my first offroad ride.
Got the train to Brighton with STE5, rode up Ditchling and joined South Downs Way towards Eastbourne.
We were lost after about 10k and had to get back on to the tarmac in Lewes to rejoin South Downs Way at Southease. Lots of offroad technical climbing and it was hard work on 34x25 but rewarding once you are at the top. Both were on cross bikes with 700x35 tyres.
Some highlights :
*Offroad hill reps after taking a wrong turn 3 times
*Long offroad rocky climbs
*Fun descents that leave your hands numb
*Amazing scenery
I am very keen to do a full 150k South Downs Way route now and hooked on offroad riding.
Thanks Sean!
