		I think that this ride takes in a perfect mix of chalky, flinty descents, hidden singletrack, lung busting climbs and the panoramic views of the North Downs and English Channel that epitomises riding on the South Downs.
		It can be as straightforward as following the South Downs Way from the Dyke out to Chanctonbury, dropping down to Cissbury before rejoining the South Downs Way again back to Devil's Dyke and makes for a reasonably non-technical 25-30 miler (non-technical but with a fair bit of climbing).
		Cissbury Ring is well worth circumnavigating too, with a nice singletrack traverse of the west face.
