Rye to Eastbourne electric bike ride

 

Saturday 10th Oct 2020

I ventured off by train to Rye and cycled back to Eastbourne where I caught the train back to Lewes. It was interesting but it wasn't as enjoyable as I thought it would be as I had a very chilly headwind of about 15 miles an hour and by the time I got to Hastings it had clouded over. The whole journey, with stops for coffee and hot soup took over 5 1/2 hours. I covered 37 miles and my battery ran down to about 18%. I'm sure it wouldn't have run down so much had I not have had the headwind.

Bike ride from Lyme Regis - short circuit of 16 miles

This is my first bike ride from Lyme Regis and my first ride on my new electric bike! Could do without the electric bike - some steep ascents! 1,725 ft (525m) of ascent in only 16 miles (25Km)! In Sussex a ride of almost double this only give an ascent of 1200 to 1400 feet!
