Mystery Rider
We gathered in the carpark expecting a torrent of rain to engulf us at any moment, it didn’t. We had a cracking ride and got back to the carpark much cleaner than any of us expected. Read More…

A year with an On-One 456 Ti
Satin 456Ti
I’ve been riding an On-One 456 Ti for the last 14 months, here are my thoughts.
My previous hardtails have been aluminium and although I’d heard that steel and titanium give a different ride feel I was dubious until a test ride (previously written up on this site). The test ride blew me away, I bought one and I’ve been riding it ever since. Read More…

Ride Report 15th November 09: Whiteways
- Half Way Round
Colin from Muddy Moles together with Jim and some of the Sussex-mtb gang joined us at Whiteways.
Colin’s impression of the ride ……
Since having the link to Brighton MTB on our Muddymoles blog, I’ve been a cyberspace admirer of the riding at their disposal and what they get up to out on the trails.
My efforts to organise an official presence of mm’s on yesterday’s ride were not successful but I was still dead keen to attend so with the blessing of my wife, God bless her, I pitched up in the car park at Bury Hill for my first Brighton MTB ride. Read More…

In the still of the night
Come and ride your favourite Stanmer trails and see them in a whole new light with an after-dark adventure every Thursday.
The experience of hitting the pitch-dark trails armed only with a souped-up light will definitely have you coming back for more. There’s nothing like it. At night, there’s no big, Downs views to take in, no looking way-ahead to pick the right line. Every bit of concentration is focussed on just the next few metres of trail, existing in the moment. All your senses are heightened, adrenalin is pumping and everything feels so much faster. No peripheral distractions like a day ride and beyond your pool of light is the quiet, calm – and let’s face it – a bit scary, unknown. Read More…

Ride Report: Sat 17th October 09
Rob on a roll...
The weather was great, the company was very enjoyable, the trails were bone dry and Rob handed out loads of free beer at the end. What more could we wish for. This ride was returning a favour to some folks from Tunnel Hill Trolls who showed us around their playground earlier in the year. Jay and Andy gave themselves plenty of time to drive to Brighton and arrived way early, newbie Garth arrived while Pete and Rob got stuck in traffic but at 10am about 12 of us were ready to roll.

Ride Report 26th September: Brighton
Alice experiences the magic of tangfastics
My first ride with you guys, feel pretty nervous, number one priority is to not make a fool of myself……….like almost passing out at the top of the first hill!! What a way to introduce yourself to a group (not one I intend to repeat, note to self to carb load next week and not to go out boozing the night before)! Read More…

End of Summer Barbeque – Thursday 22nd October
Yes folks, Summer is nearly over (officially ending on the last Sunday of October).
In celebration of the changing of the seasons and in recognition of the natural (and naturally-inspired) trails we’ve all come to enjoy on a regular basis – we thought we’d combine a normal night ride with a woodland barbeque. Read More…

Ride Report: Kingley Vale 3rd Oct
Snack Stop
I’m not usually the person you want doing the ride reports for the simple reason, as Rob will attest, I can’t remember most of the places I go to! But I have actually done this route with Rob before and a lot of it is familiar from years gone by. Here goes with memorable moments from Saturday’s ride. Read More…
