Downs To Brighton
A regular route for me to Brighton involving almost no roads, a really nice pub exactly half way (good pizza and chips) and a final coastline cruise to end it off with several cold ones at The Fortune Of War on Brighton front.
Starting in Guildford the Downs link is part of a disused railway line taking you through fields and forests, back gardens and canals. CX or MTB is required especially in the rainy season.
Traveling this route with Alvaro, both of us on our CX bikes, it was nice to show him the route and enjoy a chill ride to Brighton. I’m always drawn to the coast and love heading in that direction and to be greeted by the sea at the end.
