The South Downs Way. Ancient paths along the chalk downs. Towering white cliffs and glorious views. And some of the toughest riding in the UK, following snaking paths, brutal climbs, rocky descents and over 100 gates.

100 miles from The Handmade Cyclist's home base in Winchester to Eastbourne in East Sussex - and back, for the hardy. Over 4000 meters of climbing. One of the UK's oldest long distance trails, and still one of the most beautiful and rewarding, a true classic.
