I've created these pages to help anyone considering doing the 54 mile ride from London to Brighton. Having ridden it many times now, I still remember being frustrated before my first go that I couldn't get very much information or help on the route when I googled it.
So for your assistance, I've created these pages. Remember, however, that the annual mega-L2B ride is a very, very busy affair with 27,000 people. This is just as much for people who fancy the route but don't fancy walking their bike up every hill.

So for your assistance, I've created these pages. Remember, however, that the annual mega-L2B ride is a very, very busy affair with 27,000 people. This is just as much for people who fancy the route but don't fancy walking their bike up every hill.
The pages include...
- The route itself..... First, here is a Gmap-pedometer link to the whole route in detail (when you get there, zoom out and start from the beginning!) and a detailed written description of the route with things to look out for along the way. You can print this and stick it in your back pocket for the journey. I have also included a picture of the elevations of the whole route so you can get prepared for what is coming in the way of hills... and when!
- For inexperienced cyclists, here is a guide to preparation for your ride - which should start some months before - and minimising the aches and pains afterwards.
- Finally, tactics... when you know this route you learn psychological and energy-saving tactics to ensure you get there as quickly and easily as possible. Here's my personal recommendations.
Keep pushing!
