The iconic journey that all London's Gravel riders need to do.

Start off at Cyclefit's Store Street shop we’ll roll south through London, hitting the dirt at Mitcham Common. On the way, we’ll ride past the country’s oldest Grotto (yes, that’s a thing) and a Bronze Age hill fort before stopping for Coffee stop in Coulsdon to refuel, then it's straight into the fun of Happy Valley.

Happy Valley, climb the North Downs to the view point to see a the South Downs in the far distance.

There’s a fun little sandy climb (trust me, you’ll love it) before we cruise through woodlands and across farmland to meet the Worth Way. We’ll hit some singletrack through Tillingate Forest before stopping for lunch in Pease Pottage - sounds so medieval.

A gentle post-lunch warm-up along bridleways before we join the Downs Link and cruise a solid 15 km to Steyning. Then it’s the long, old grind up to the final summit at Fulking Hill, (spelling is correct) but don’t worry—there’s a glorious descent waiting on the other side. We’ll roll into Brighton for fish 'n' chips and a well-earned beer by the sea.

Led by Charlie, this is a fast-paced small group ride, averaging 17–20 km/h, with brief stops for coffee and lunch.
