Bikes
I have regularly cycled on these routes both on a mountain bike and commuter bike. Initially I used a mountain bike with a hinged crank to help with a bad hip but after a replacement hip I was able to just use a shortened left crank. I’ve now got an EMTB and I’m starting to find routes further from East Grinstead.
Routes
Most of the routes shown here are on minor roads or bridleways. This area is not very well served for bridleways so finding circular routes away from major roads is sometimes a problem!
Most of the routes start in East Grinstead at the Lewes road Roundabout at the start of the Forest Way or from the Station Carpark at the start of the Worth Way.
Each page will have a gpx file for download and a more detailed map.
