Training ride – Brighton to Eastbourne
Andy and I set off early to ride the last 3rd of the South Downs Way. This was in preparation for our attempt at the whole thing in 3 days next week. This was the only section we’d never previously ridden. A good thing to as we took 4 wrong turnings, mostly due to missing or ambiguous signs so hopefully there will be no wrong turnings next week! Anyway, we completed about 33 miles of the South Downs Way and 5 or so getting to and from the start from cars and trains. The morning was surprisingly easy, but we were put in our place by a couple of huge hills right before the end. The descent into Eastbourne was awesome and will be even better next week after 3 days riding!
