Cycling from ED to West Sussex tomorrow

[johnie]

Does anyone have a decent quiet route from ED to around Petersfield? I want to go to a family gathering tomorrow afternoon in a village called Rogate on the A272. I'm looking at the traffic and Clapham Junction trains and thinking meh.

I think I'd prefer to cycle if I can find a quiet route. Not bothered about speed, I can take my time and if there are trains I could get on with the bike, I'll do that. This isn't a Lycra fest racer journey, just a trusty hybrid potter.

Any ideas of routes appreciated.

The National Cycle Route network is generally pretty good - never ridden quite that way myself but looks as though 21>20>22 would take you pretty much there (there seems to be a strange hiatus just before Petersfield but only a few miles out). http://www.sustrans.org.uk/ncn/map?lat=56.54737192673878&lng=-3.142090281250036&zoom=5&route-type=all-routes&filters=

Have a good ride, would love to hear if it's a pleasant route to ride if you follow that one, always on the lookout for new ways to go.

Rendel, I knew it would be you if anyone. I really appreciate your posts BTW, keep up the pragmatic thinking and reasoned arguing.

Not sure that opinion is universally shared round these here parts Johnie, but very kind of you to say so!

Ride safe and enjoy!
