Hi everyone, thanks for coming to my site, please help me raise some money for this charity which is very close to my heart.

I feel that doing these cycle rides every year is my little way of saying thank you to the team at the Hospice, and your donations will help provide care for many others in similar situations to which my Dad was.

Not content with just doing the London to Brighton road ride, I want to do it off road all the way!!

From Barnes Station we begin by going through Richmond Park then on to the Thames for a while before breaking off through the countyside, encountering two quite large hills between 640ft and 720ft but is set in stunning surroundings.

We eventually join the Downslink outside Guildford and follow most of this route except for the end, where instead of following the coast road, we climb Beeding Hill and rise over 640ft before dropping into Brighton and back to the mainline station.

here's a link to the route:   http://www.bikemap.net/route/1382916

• Distance: 72.3 mi
• Total vertical climb: ca. 2624 ft
• Inclination: Partly hilly - partly flat
• Surface: Paved, Unpaved, Gravel
• Category: Specifically suitable for mountain bike
