Gravellin' with ya mates
May 14, 2024
Well, you might ask what to do on a day off when ex Kinesis ambassador and Upgrade colleague Rory Hitchens has a route he wants to show you… jump in the car with him and head over to Chichester. This route was originally shared with Markus Stitz for the book Great British Gravel Rides that came out in July 2022. It’s a great book and there are a few details of rides and where to buy on the following link here.
Now, I’m not that much of a fan of driving somewhere to ride as I’d rather ride out to the route, but with time constraints and Rory needing the car at the end of the journey we headed West out of Hove and along the A27 to Chichester. The book has the ride starting at the train station, making the ride accessible with public transport and you can park there, but just around the corner we found a cheeky spot that allowed us to park for free and get straight on to the Centurion Way.
