FNRttC Friday Night Ride to......Brighton on Friday 17th June

[mmmmartin]

Well, one of them is something of a legend now

The FNRttC was mentioned to her and she smiled and said: "I cut my teeth on them." I told her we regard her as "one of us" and follow her exploits closely.

Will be in for this. Haven't been to Brighton since the Veteran Car Run (though I might do there and back before this one).

Horrible sausage problem will, I imagine, be overcome by going to Wetherspoons.....

 

[lazybloke]

Will see if I survive my first FNRttC to Shoreham before I think about Brighton.
Ooh. Ditchling? We all like a challenge.

 

[Fab Foodie]

Going to have to miss this one I'm afraid

Unlike ....

 

[Dogtrousers]

All the top pros swear by sleep deprivation and horrible sausages as the most important training aids.

@lazybloke I've never yet met a hill I couldn't walk up.

 

[TimO]

Ooo, go on. Name names !!

I got Adam, Adam . . .

@lazybloke I've never yet met a hill I couldn't walk up.

... or alternatively, phone up a Taxi, as someone was alleged to have tried.


I'm definitely up for this one, I haven't done a Brighton ride in far too long. With a half decent bike, Ditchling is fun, less so with a singlespeed, although I'm sure there will be fixie enthusiasts doing it multiple times !

 

[Dogtrousers]

I'll be on my Brompton. So no riding home for me.

Blimey, was that 2006? My memory is not what it used to be, but I have a memory of a much smaller group which I thought had been 2006 - perhaps 6 or so.

Well, one of them is something of a legend now and is giving a talk at Rapha tonight! Several Fridays peeps are there. Last I heard, the damage to @mmmmartin 's wallet was still under £100.

Am I a huge disappointment at not having the slightest clue who this is ?

I can remember other rides in 2006 with less than 10. It was a struggle to make sure we arrived after 7am.

She writes about important matters, and writes like an angel. Not often I say that. And a very approachable person. Plus hard, hard, hard as stainless steel reinforced nails. And then some.

There is nowhere to put all the bikes there, so I doubt it somehow.

We managed last time to find bike parking .... And some of us got ver ver drunk ...

Unfortunately, there's not enough parking for 50+ bikes though.
