Findon Gentlemen’s Cycling Club rides in June 2026

Saturday 6th June 08.00am ride

The prospect of very wet weather meant that only two advised that they would be out, giving an opportunity for e-bike free cycling. A ride to the Bluebird Cafe in Ferring was agreed.

After deluges during the night and just before the ride we started off in relatively dry weather though with very strong SSW winds. Up through the Crem and north to Chantry post at which point rain started. Due to the wind we had to pedal going downhill to Leigh Farm and even more so alongside the gallops into heavy rain and getting soaked.

At the end of the gallops we ascended to the west end of APE and east on the tarmac to take some shelter, by which time the rain had stopped. Down Dover Lane and across the A27 to then head to Angmering, by now in sunshine. East towards Highdown then down Hangleton Lane, across the A259 and through Ferring to the Bluebird by which time we had largely dried out.

Return east through the channel-island named streets to Sea Lane, then on Ilex way to Goring north to the industrial estate and through the tunnel under the railway. Continuing generally north-easterly to go up Cotswold road to the A27 and Mill Lane, the Gallops, Bostal and the cycling motorway to Findon.

Both very satisfied with having had a good analogue ride “while we still can”

Total 22 miles and 1,280 ft

Meanwhile in Italy CB achieved double the distance and heights climbed, a great training ride in preparation for the FGCC Shrewsbury long ride later this month.
