      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Thanks to a few of the group replying to a Highways post on Facebook we have an idea of roads and dates locally that will be &quot;dressed&quot; as they so eloquently put it. In other words, have a load of chippings thrown at them and then wait to see how many bikers come off before the chippings have been compressed into bitumen enough!<br />
Here is the info (dates may be changed depending on weather):<br />

25/07/17   Sheffield Park, Fletching  1 day  Road closure<br />
<br />
                     Partridges Lane,...<br />

<br />
I am in need of a good windy twisty route from Rye carpark to Wessons to complete a circle loop but every time i seem to go a different way and the tomtom takes me down some right dirt tracks which i would like to avoid.<br />
<br />
If possible I would like to take the B2089 (Udimore road) from Rye and someone said going via Battle is the way to go as it has a fast twisty road.<br />
<br />
Can anyone help please maybe via google maps?<br />
<br />
Cheers<br />
