South Downs Mountain Biking

Mountain biking (MTBing) on the South Downs of Hampshire and Sussex, between Winchester, Brighton and Eastbourne takes in roller coaster rides, dedicated woodland singletrack and great downhills. The South Downs is a mountain biker`s paradise. Thousands of kilometres of well-maintained byways and bridleways can be combined to create seemingly inexhaustible route combinations. Many tracks traverse well-drained chalk downland, providing superlative off-road conditions for much of the year. The 26 routes in this book are graded (blue, red and black) for a range of abilities, and grouped into 6 sections: The South Downs Way National Trail (the whole route described in 3 stages) and routes around Winchester, Chichester and Petersfield, Arundel and Worthing, Brighton and Lewes and Eastbourne. They range from 14km to 57km in length and up to 95% off road, providing plenty of challenge for any mountain biker. All routes are clearly illustrated on OS maps with numbered stages linking the route descriptions to maps, and brought to life with action photographs. Extensive information is also included on facilities and services, including bike shops and mechanics, cafes , pubs and food shops, accommodation and transport links in addition to tips on bike gear and preparation.
