Ride to Bexhill-on-Sea via Mayfield in East Sussex

Ride for Sunday 15 May, Starts 10:10am Polegate Station.

Mayfield Horseshoe 40 miles to Bexhill, 55 for anyone returning to Polegate.

Easy ten miles on Cuckoo trail at the start, ideal for those wanting a shorter trip (20 mile return).

Beautiful middle High Weald section is especially lumpy around Mayfield, Burwash and Brightling with some short but very steep ramps.

Easy, firm off road on Cuckoo trail, and NCN Avenue Verte to Mayfield. The rest is good tarmac, quiet lanes and a new Greenway into Bexhill ( Built to placate protests over the controversial Combe Valley A259 relief road).

Coffee/banana stop at Heathfield or Mayfield,

Lunch/picnic or pub at Catsfield, or more choice on Bexhill promenade depending on progress!

Riders coming by train (arriving 10:06) will need to buy a return to Bexhill unless they want to complete the longer 55 mile route back to Polegate. Parking available at Polegate station for anyone wanting to meet at start that way.
