Brand new for 2019!
Pure flow and fun from the woodland singletrack and bombholes of this South Downs classic.
Why? It’s simple, the woodland here just off the South Downs Way is festooned with classic flowing singletrack that have you grinning from ear to ear. There are huge bomb-holes, tight old-school trails and more flow then you can handle. This really is another reason why the South Downs should not be overlooked.
