Pre-2000 bike ride in Sussex

[Smalls]

HI, I'm wondering if there would be interest in a meet up group for people wanting to ride their pre-2000 maintain bikes. I live in Brighton, so ideally in that 30-mile+ radius.

I'd be keen - great idea!

Ideal, I put a notice on FB too, and got a couple of replies. do you think a initial trip over the downs would be the best idea?

I used to ride in the South Downs area years ago. Fast, hard-pack chalk on the top, and in winter the heaviest, stickiest clay at the bottom.

There was a place we used to go with a series of natural ramps and jumps. It was just off the main trail, about halfway between Ditchling Beacon and Jack and Jill, and a little way down the hill. I think it was probably here, but it's been so long I can't remember for sure. Maybe one of the locals has been out riding there more recently.

Hope y'all have a great ride.
