I took part in the British Heart Foundation London to Brighton off-road bike ride on 23rd September 2023, and completed it!
This video is the first part of the ride from checkpoint 1 to checkpoint 2. This stage of the ride was more offroad and started to get into what the ride was all about, getting offroad and using the capabilities of the bike instead of just riding on the road.
It was a long ride at around 61 miles (98 km) starting in Walton on Thames, London and finishing on Hove lawns in Brighton/Hove. I started at 9:30am and finished at around 4pm in the afternoon taking 6 hours 23 minutes including stops, about 5 hours 50 minutes moving time. The ride passed through the countryside of Surrey and West Sussex in UK, taking in some amazing scenery and wonderful views along the way.
There was a mix of flat sections along with climbs and descents, and turned into an epic day of riding, and helped to support this wonderful charity raising £585 on my Just Giving page.
