UK South Accommodation
Chase the Sun UK South is a free to register cycle ride, however, unless you have someone willing to drive you to the start before sunrise and pick you up at the finish after sunset then staying overnight at both the start and finish locations is an integral and enjoyable part of the weekend’s adventure.
Below are links to conveniently located hotels, availability of rooms is limited, so you need to contact the accommodation and book your own rooms ASAP to avoid missing out.
