I don't like the 'official' route - anybody want to join me? I'll dig out the link to the route in Routes but basically it's in reverse to the way everybody else rides down
OK, I know it means you don't get to ride up THAT side of Ditchling but you get to ride up the other side of Devil's Dyke and you don't get that awful drag with the speed bumps straight after lunch - my routes goes back to the Steyne and then goes up a back road across a park to get to the Ditchling road. For those who are doing the normal route you might like to consider dropping down to Brighton by this road - it's almost directly opposite the road off Ditchling where it meets the main road and goes through a much nicer area than the other road we use as well as being all down hill
