The South Downs Way
The South Downs Way is an ancient 160km road from Winchester to Eastbourne. It's been used for around 8000 years and has numerous ancient sites along its route. We normally get the train from Clapham Junction to Amberley as it's cheap. Amberley is almost halfway along so it's possible to go back to Winchester, on to Eastbourne or head off route to Brighton or Worthing.

So while Herne Hill is usually used for Track, every Sunday afternoon it is transformed for a Cyclocross race. ISO200 | f9 | 1/320
Saturday Morning Track at Herne Hill Velodrome
Herne Hill is one of the few remaining sites of the 1947 Olympics held in London. Nearly lost to developers in the 90's it now has a huge following and a brand new stadium. Saturday morning is 2 hours of fast track bike action. No gears, no brakes - exciting! ISO 200 | 1/25sec | f3.5
