British Heart Foundation London to Brighton off-road bike ride Checkpoint 5 to 6 - part 2

I took part in the British Heart Foundation London to Brighton off-road bike ride on 23rd September 2023, and completed it!

This video covers second part of the route from checkpoint 5 to checkpoint 6. This part picks up the route starting in the Upper Beeding, then to the infamous hill climb that I was dreading as at this point I was having trouble with my gears not being able to shift into 1st gear so I knew it was going to be hard. After the hill reaching Beeding Hill Car park, another hill riding on the road before arriving at checkpoint 6 at the YHA Truleigh Hill.

It was a long ride at around 61 miles (98 km) starting in Walton on Thames, London and finishing on Hove lawns in Brighton/Hove. I started at 9:30am and finished at around 4pm in the afternoon taking 6 hours 23 minutes including stops, about 5 hours 50 minutes moving time. The ride passed through the countryside of Surrey and West Sussex in UK, taking in some amazing scenery and wonderful views along the way.

There was a mix of flat sections along with climbs and descents, and turned into an epic day of riding, and helped to support this wonderful charity raising £585 on my Just Giving page.
