Rugged group cycle loop to Tilgate, Crawley from near Horsham Station

A mostly country quiet road cycle starting from Horsham Pavilions in the Park and looping around to rendezvous for a refreshment stop with the Participants in the Crawley Beginners Ride (at Tilgate Park). After the cafe stop we will loop back to Horsham.

This is an intermediate 28miles (46km) cycle ride with some trails in Tilgate when we arrive in Crawley, before returning via Pease Pottage for Horsham.

Please note that the trails in Tilgate can be muddy and even though we are only making a short ride through them, it would not be suitable for dedicated road bikes. It would be fine for a touring bike, gravel bike, sturdy hybrid or MTB. The pace will be around 10/11mph or 16/17km with plenty of rest stops after hills.

We don't leave any cyclists behind, welcome e-bikers and have a mixed group.
