The South Downs Way is a 100 mile, mainly off-road, mainly bridleway route running between Winchester and Eastbourne. I met up with Matt and Steve in Winchester on the 3rd April (just before easter) with our bikes and our tents and a plan to spend 3 days covering the route by bike. 100 miles. 3 days. How hard could it be?
Well… it turned out to be harder than we expected! 🙁
In the end we did Winchester to Brighton in about 2 days, unwilling to spend a third night in a cold tent.
The rest of this site tells how we got on…
