2016 TRIP
The 2016 event as described by the organiser Clive Patterson-Lett:
The WECC Eastbourne Weekend takes place in the 3rd weekend of February. We have been staying at the Langham in Eastbourne for the last 5 years and are already booked in for 18th Feb 2017! Details of the hotel can be found below.

This is a great social weekend with 2 groups leaving Broadwater at 9am on Saturday before returning by 3pm on the Sunday.
The "steady" group does about 50 miles per day, with stops for elevenses and lunch.....this year we stopped at the Yew Tree in Chalvington (excellent curry!)

The "brisk" group do about 130 miles over the weekend with stops at Ditchling and Horam.

The route is pretty similar every year with plenty of quiet country lanes and opportunities to chat with club mates whilst taking in some of the great sights of East and West Sussex. The whole weekend has become increasingly popular every year, with 20 riders taking part this year plus a handful of supporters who drove to Eastbourne just for the social!

The food and accommodation at The Langham is excellent. 3 course dinner B&B is £48 per person so its great value too, though you have to pay for your own beer!
​

With spring just around the corner the weather has always been kind to us and I cannot recommend this weekend highly enough as a way of getting some miles in as well as getting to know your club mates better.
The Langham Hotel is well situated and very welcoming, with excellent bike storage facilities. Click to find out more.
