Where to ride
Explore The South Downs
We have decades of experience planning local rides to suit all abilities, helping you discover the most amazing spots the South Downs has to offer and ensuring you get the best experience possible.
We love a paper map, but the easiest way to navigate these days is using a phone app, such as Komoot. We have various routes saved on our Komoot profile, ready for you to download and follow, phone holders are available to hire making it super easy – like following a car sat nav! We do not recommend standard mapping apps such as Google, Bing or Apple as they are not detailed enough for off road navigation.
We can even create a custom route for you, if you let us know what you would like to do, using our expert local knowledge we will connect up places of interest and send you a route, ready to ride!
