Introduction

RIDE INFORMATION

Area: Where the ride is located.

OS Map: The relevant OS Landranger 1:50 000 map for the route.

Route: Waymarks from start to finish, with OS grid reference numbers. All of the rides in this book bar the South Downs Way are circular, making it possible to start at a number of locations.

Nearest BR Stations: Most of the routes are accessible from a railway station. Owing to the market-led policies of British Rail which have become extremely bike-unfriendly, it is necessary to check restrictions and costs before you start and board a train.

Approx Length: In miles and kilometres. There should always be some allowance for getting lost or altering the route.

Time: This is very difficult to assess, and will depend on factors such as whether the tracks are dry, how many hills have to be climbed, how fast you ride, and how many pubs and places of interest there are en route.

Rating: An ‘Easy’ ride should be accessible for riders of all abilities, excluding sub-teenage children; a ‘Moderate’ ride may prove harder in terms of terrain, length, hills, churning those pedals, and possibly navigation; a ‘Hard’ ride is best suited to experienced offroad riders with a high level of commitment. However these ratings can be changed by the weather – for instance an ‘Easy’ ride in very dry weather may become a ‘Hard’ ride when the tracks are churned to mud.
