Breeze meets Mitre Summer 2022 - Racey Red

This is a RACEY RED ride aimed at experienced & confident road cyclists only, 10 - 12 mph on varied roads with more hills.

If you're a more experienced Breeze rider, competent and confident riding in tight groups, and used to riding 20 to 30 miles (30 to 50km) in one ride, then this could be for you!

Our local cycling club, Brighton Mitre CC, offers 'Come and Try It' led rides on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of each month. These rides are between 25 and 30 miles long (40 to 50km), and the pace averages 12 to 14mph (20 to 23kph). This Breeze meets Mitre ride provides a bridge from Breeze to entry level Mitre, for those that are interested in progressing to a cycle club.

We follow that day's 'Come and Try It' Mitre route. You can find it here: https://www.brightonmitre.co.uk/group-ride-schedule/
as well as here: https://www.brightonmitre.co.uk/routes/

These routes are all on road with a mixture of quiet country lanes and busier main roads.

Today's route (number 4) takes us from the café up over Devil's Dyke, along Edburton Road through the village of Fulking, down through Bramber towards Steyning then up Steyning Bostal (the highlight of the ride!). We then drop down Titch Hill to Lancing and finish on the flat along the seafront back to Hove.

We gather at the café from 09:00, then groups start to roll away from 09:30 after a briefing. Our Breeze meets Mitre group will leave after all the other group have gone.

Please bring a drink plus snacks to eat along the way. We may stop at a café en route, but if the group prefer we sometime keep going and have a coffee and chat at the end, back in Hove.

Also bring appropriate clothing for the weather conditions and at least one spare inner tube for your bike. If you're not sure what an inner tube is, or how to know which size to buy, this little video should help you: https://youtu.be/3uzsEystB-Q

One for the more experienced Breeze riders! If you want a taste of riding with our local cycling club, Brighton Mitre CC, then this could be for you. The club runs 'Come and Try It' rides every 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month, but if you'd like to stay with Breeze to see what it's like, we will follow the same route on the same day as the CaTI group, and eve meet at the same café at the same time so you can see the kinds of people and bikes that come out on Sundays with the Mitre.

Combination of quiet country lanes and busier main roads. A couple of cheeky hills thrown in too (Devil's Dyke and Steyning Bostal)

We never leave anyone behind
