The info:
~ What Are the Lemming Trails? ~
The South Downs trail ride offers a
tougher test in the form of 100 miles of relentless ups and downs on
fast flowing chalk tracks, you’ll enjoy the full Trail Break
experience and attention to detail that makes the Lemming Trails the
most complete events package of their kind.
LEMMING TRAILS are the original
UK mountain bike endurance challenges. The first one ran in 1996 and
the two day Lemming format is still unique and gives the events a
much more epic feel than one day rides.

The Lemming format
Offers
so much more than a single day enduro event. You get a full weekend
of top class riding with an overnight stop that has camping and
hostel accommodation right on the trail. You get a big evening meal
and a Sunday morning cooked breakfast all in with the price of the
event, you can book a packed lunch for the second days riding. All
you need to pack is a bit of lunch for the first days ride.
There are extra food and drink supplies available at the support
stations on route.
The South Downs Way Trail
The organizers also carry all your
gear for you. Anything you don’t need for the ride itself (clean
clothes, wash kit, camping gear) can go in our truck to be
transported to the overnight stop for you and then onto the finish.
At the end of the ride, the organizers can even take you back to
your car at the start. Just book a place on one of coaches and the
organizers take you right back from the finish, with your bike
following in the truck behind. On the ride itself, you get all the
back up you could need. Waymarked trails to keep you on the straight
and narrow, guides on route to help out if you get in any trouble,
regular support stations stocked with food drink and bike spares,
mechanical assistance and all the facilities at the overnight stop. |

DAY 1
This isn't to be taken lightly ...! its a long way 100
miles riding off-road up and chalk covered tracks (Believe
us) The climbs did seem to hit us quite quickly, a
total of 8 on the first day followed by another 6 on
the second day. Rammstein & Treehugger reckon all the
hills are climbable but there are one or two that will
really test your metal.
