"Nearly" ride 2025 aka 27/07/25 mk 2

Filling in some of the missing details.

Twenty years ago the ride was North Cheam to Amberley and back (90-95 miles) hence the "nearly" tag. A ride to the coast would have been 115-120 miles. FNRTTC rides finished in Bognor (Felpham) rather than Climping.

Sunday will include the missing Amberley to the coast. Each section terminates near a railway station. Whether you ride, train, go only part way or whatever is your choice.

Rough mileage

1 Start (Brockham) ?
2 11s Horsham (Wetherspoons Lynd Cross) - 15 miles
From station S/O rbt into Hurst Road, at end turn L onto B2237,
at fork bear R to cyclists' traffic lights, S/O dual carriageway. Spoons is R.
3 Lunch Amberley (Riverside) - 18 miles
4 Off-road options to Arundel including "catching the train" (0.5 miles) and "over the Downs" (7 miles). The motorists' route (B2139/A284) is no fun (5 miles, 500 feet)!
5 Arundel to the coast and back to Ford - 8 miles
6 Home ?
