55 MILES FROM LONDON TO BRIGHTON

Once we are out of London we predominantly cycle along quiet country lanes passing through Mitcham, Carshalton, Chipstead, Banstead and Haywards Heath before taking on the challenge that is Ditchling Beacon – a mile long climb to the top of the South Downs where you will be rewarded with amazing views and a water break!

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

A new or novice rider? If you’re willing to train – with a little help from us of course – London to Brighton is open to everyone. Just make sure you’ve got the basics down.

When and where?

We set off from Clapham Common, London on Sunday 16th June, and finish on Brighton Beach the same afternoon. You’ll follow a beautiful route through the Surrey and Sussex countryside.

How much?

Adult registration is £45. 14-17-year-olds are £40. This money helps us pay for the cost of holding the event – so all your fundraising can go towards beating heartbreak forever.

Who’s it for?

London to Brighton is for everyone! Young or old, beginner or experienced. If you’re willing to train, anyone can take on this bucket-list challenge.

TRAVEL INFORMATION​

Sort out your travel for you, your supporters and your bike for the day from our options below.

Our rides are open to all levels of cyclist and we operate a ‘no drop policy’ that means no one will get left behind. We regularly stop and re-group with ride leaders ensuring everyone stays together. If numbers allow, we will split groups into ability/level.
We prefer not to allocate a specific speed to our rides, as they are social and open to all levels of cyclist. What generally tends to happen is the group splits naturally, allowing everyone to ride at their level, then regrouping at strategic points along the ride. If you are worried about speed (and lots of people are) then please email us for more information. In the rare instance that we do allocate a speed to a ride (usually because it is intended to be a ‘fast’ ride) we will make it very clear on the ride details page.
If you’re still unsure then why not attend one of our ‘beginner’ rides to meet the group and try it out?
There is always a safety briefing at the beginning of all of our rides where we explain the rules of riding in a group, the different had signals and what you need to look out for. It can be daunting but our group leaders will take special care of you on your first ride.
A helmet is mandatory and we also recommend cycling kit (padded shorts, clip in shoes etc) but they are not mandatory. Spare inner tubes, water and energy snacks are all recommended. Yes absolutely – the more the merrier! Please just make sure they also sign up to the ride on this page.

Clip in pedals are not mandatory, trainers and flat pedals work just fine when you are starting out You are more than welcome to ride with us if you don’t have clip in shoes. If you are looking to make the transition to clip in pedals we can also help with that, with tips on what sort to buy, and then helping you get used to them on our beginner rides. Just let us know if this applies to you.
