Where does it start. Stamina, staying hydrated, and refuelling properly are your main enemies for a SDW in a day attempt… oh and a tailwind helps One other question please, without wanting to get into the larger debate, would people wear a helmet on this ride?I always used to be a part time helmet wearer (off for climbs and pootles) and then started getting seriously nagged by my girlfriend.I then found a helmet that I barely notice and so it stays on the whole time. We tell you how many miles each leg is and what the highlights are along the way, so you can pick and choose your favourites.Here’s a brief description of the itineraries but if you click ‘More Information’ you’ll find out full details of the itinerary so you can learn about the highlights of each sector and what to look out for. Well, cycling the South Downs Way the classic and ancient, off-road trail, stretching exactly one hundred miles from Winchester to Eastbourne has never been easier. You can cycle the South Downs Way in either direction, heading east from Winchester to Eastbourne or vice-versa, but you don’t need to be cycling the whole of the South Downs Way to enjoy these itineraries.
It’s long hard slog…Despite what some people say I think full sus works well for marathon style adventures. I do buy into the whole better rolling/more comfortble thing, and I’d not want slack angles over that kind of distance as I find them hard work manhalndling wide bars/short stem/slack forks on long rides.
With its stunning scenery, sweeping views and breathtaking sense of space and freedom, the South Downs Way offers a deceptively vast rural wilderness in an overcrowded corner of England.
Way I figure is that you can drink/eat if you’re dehydrated/low in energy but aches/pains from constant riding are far harder to resolve on a ride once they’ve started.So choose the bike that’s most comfortable over long distances…if that’s the Orange, look at ways of lightening it up (Tyre choice will help…lighter tyres with less rolling resistance).1st time in a group (4) with a heckler FS – result FAIL – too many differieng paces at different points on the ride, plus a heavyish bike.2nd time (month later) solo on a Boardman Alu Hardtail – result – success – went for small block 8’s and kept it light.I’d say if you have a XC hardtail of the pretty light variety, like a spark or something use that but keepint it light and efficient is the best way.whichever bike you’re going to be swearing at less grinding up the 37th long draggy climbI did it on a 4″ FS with random cheap semi-slicks bought for it, mate did it on steel hardtail with wornout fat tyres for a bit of comfort…..we were both sha….

There are lots of route options for cycling the South Downs, the most notable of these are the We’ve put together some suggested itineraries to helps you plan your south downs cycling trip.
It’s excruciatingly boring!Giant Anthem or some other short travel XC whippet would be good.Whatever you do, avoid it if there has been (heavy) rain recently, and it gets harder/hilly the further away from Winchester you are…Pnik, not sure how familiar you are with the SDW? It is also the only National Trail to lie entirely within a National Park.
If there’s a headwind forecasted, pick another day.I did it on an old Sub 5 a couple of years ago and that was a good choice – you really appreciate the comfort after 80 miles!does anyone have the london to brighton off road route as a GPS file?
Stretching from the ancient cathedral city of Winchester in the west, first capital of England, through to the white chalky cliffs of the Seven Sisters … It’s a very cheap Bell one. If you can spare another day you’ll get more chance to enjoy the places of interest along the way.This is recommended for anyone with a good level of fitness and will allow you some time to enjoy the highlights en route and to explore the villages and towns you are staying in.This itinerary averages under 20 miles per day so will allow you to take it relatively slowly and give you time to enjoy your surroundings and visit places of interest along the way.A 37-mile path linking the South and North Downs taking in beautiful countryside, river views and historical houses.South Downs Discovery offer high quality, self guided walking holidays along the South Downs Way. It’s taken me around 20 years of riding to find that helmet mind. © Copyright 2019 South Downs Discovery. Was wondering whether something like a scandal 29er, might be the way to go, I have a opportunity to get a good deal on a new 5, but suspect thats not really a mile munching all day bike really.

If it’s a heat thing, then maybe you just need a better helmet – I overheat more than most, but wouldn’t even consider the idea of taking my helmet off for that reason except in a heatwave.Helemt – yes, why wouldn’t you, unless you intended to have a TJ induced rotational injury, I don’t buy his claim that it’s more likely than the “smashing rocks through skull” type injuries. If it’s dry get some fast rolling tyres on, if it’s not then wait until it’s dry! If you can manage all day on the Duster, and you have it built light, perfect. It’s only a third or so but has some of the tougher climbs and will be then end of it when you do it for real so might help to know it in advance?I was up walking on the SDW last weekend, a really lovely sunny afternoon.
