Mid Month Pedal – 11 Nov, around Angmering Park

We’re putting on another Mid Month Pedal. These are easier, less technical rides than our monthly Club Rides so if you fancy a nice beginner (ish) / intermediate blast then why not come along ? Led by regular Muddy@rser Guy around his local stomping ground, the trail is about 10 miles long based in and around Angmering Park mainly on open bridleway, but includes some short fun downhill sections and we can add a bit of singletrack on at the end if we decide to. It can be a bit muddy around these parts in winter, but hey this is the South so everywhere is muddy at this time of year! It’ll just add to the grin factor and improve your sideways sliding skills

We’ll be starting at 10.30am starting from Dover carpark which can be accessed from the Eastbound A27, if heading from Brighton take the turning point halfway along the A27 dual carriageway about 1km west and head back to the turning on the other side of the road. Here’s a map link just in case. http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=506040&y=106440&z=3&sv=506040,106440&st=4&ar=Y&mapp=newmap.srf&searchp=newsearch.srf

Hope to see you there. If you could let us know below if you’re definitely coming along we’ll keep an eye out for you.

Cheers

Purple Extreme Chain Lube

My criteria for a bike chain lubricant: 1) it lasts for the duration of the ride (2-10 hours), 2) it doesn’t pick up dirt or dust and turn the chain into a dirt ingrained thing that requires hours of cleaning or soaking in degreaser. Over the years I have tried many lubes on my bike chain and had a couple of favourites; however I have now been converted to the Holy Grail of bike chain lubes, Purple Extreme.
