Hi Everyone!
A lot of the roads around Hastings and Bexhill have had beautiful new tarmac on in the last year...suprisingly! Eastbourne and Bognor are worth a visit too as a change to Brighton, although you can't beat a good pose on Madiera Drive in the Summer (well it is only 5 mins from my house!)
The A28 to Tenterden is in good condition and there is a great twisty bit on the A265 between Etchingham and Hawkhurst ...plus you can visit Wessons (the Ogri Cafe) in Horam (just past Heathfield) which does top food
There are some cracking rides around Henfield/Mayfield etc too and lots of bikes stop at the pub ontop of Devils Dyke. Best thing to do is just to get lost, find some nice roads and enjoy them!
