Note: This ride will go from the west wall of Shoreham Harbour to the beach at Worthing Pier, unlike all previous rides!

Fun cycle dash over the exposed sand flats during one of the lowest tides of the year. The ride goes along the beach from the west wall of Shoreham Harbour to Worthing Pier, and beyond (note ride start location and time – it has varied!), or as far as you and your bike can make it.

The ride will set off 15-30 minutes after meeting, so as to catch the lowest tide and the sunrise.

Following August 2007's Low Tide Naked Critical Mash-Up bike ride, the event is clothing-optional.

Time and tide wait for no-one, so if you can't make it to the start, join us en route.

We often go for a skinny-dip in the sea at the end of the ride.

Bring bikes, waterproofs, warm clothes, towels and lights. Remember to thoroughly wash the salt and sand off your bike afterwards. If you're worried about using your own bike, pick a scrap one up from a skip.

Note: Although there was a low tide on 11 February 2009, I decided not to organise a ride then as it'd be too cold. I also wanted to take a short break to renew my enthusiasm for the event!
