Registration Open

The ride is less than four weeks away, so please let me know asap if you'd like to take part in the ride. I very much hope you decide to join us. About 40 riders so far. Just email me at downslinkride@gmail.com

We have a Sponsor!

Really good news - Bliss Bikes, who are based in Partridge Green, have very kindly agreed to sponsor the ride by providing rider numbers, refreshments along the route and possibly more besides. I've used them myself after my daughter's bike needed a repair after parting company with our roof carrier on the A3 and they did a brilliant job. Just give them a call on 01403 713 470 and ask for Scott, he'll be happy to help.

We're hopeful that lots of people will want to take part in this ride, which will follow the Downs Link bridleway from Bramley to Shoreham and will include a few free refreshment stops along the way. Family, friends, neighbours and people from Horsham Parish are invited to take part in what should be a great day out in the countryside. It's also a great incentive to get out on your bike on those lovely bright, crisp days during the winter months.

You are invited register your interest in taking part by sending an email to Toby Smallwood at downslinkride@gmail.com. At this stage all that's needed is your name, address, telephone number, email address and a note saying how you found out about this ride. Registering your interest now will not commit you to taking part but, in the event that we have to limit numbers, should guarantee you a place. Entry to the ride is free and everyone taking part will be asked to raise sponsorship. Also, thanks to the very lovely people at St Catherine's Hospice, free t-shirts that riders can wear on the day for added team spirit may be provided.
