Its my turn to lead the social ride this weekend and I'm planning a route which takes in some of courses the club competes on - Balcombe and Lewes Crits. For those that are interested in racing or plan to race Lewes for the first time the ride will be a good steady paced recc'y of both courses.
We'll follow the usual format of leaving Cafe Nero at 8:30am sharp and riding out to Albourne where the group splits. We'll take back roads over to Barcombe Cross where pick up the infamous 8 mile Barcombe course for a lap. Once complete the route heads over to Ringmer where we join the 7 mile Lewes Crits course. Then its home via Lewes, Plumpton and finally Ditchling Beacon.
The weather looks pretty good so I'm planning on finishing at Carluccio's in town to sit outside and get some cake!
As always please remember good tyres, some spares and a bit of food to get you round without any hitches.

About the Club
- Brighton Mitre Cycling Club was founded in 1894 in the now-defunct "Mitre" public house in Brighton. Well into our second century, the club is still extremely active, and aims to promote all aspects of competitive and lesiure cycling, both on- and off-road. We welcome new members! Club rides for roadies depart Caffé Nero in Hove at 8.30am on Saturdays; a fast-paced, structured training ride for those with racing licences or ambitions to compete, and a more steady, social ride for anyone wishing to take it easy. Both rides are led by club members and aim to be back in Brighton by midday. For more details on the Saturday ride, contact the club. To join The Mitre, click here.
