London to Brighton night ride, March 6th

[redfalo]

As discussed earlier here, I'm planning to do a London to Brighton night ride on March 6th. Meet 11.30pm for a 12.00 start at Hyde Park Corner.

Halfway-stop will be Gatwick, obviously. I'd like keep the group size at about 40 riders.

This won't be an official FNRttC, but a ride run as a Fridays ride. It will be in a similar spirit (no one left behind) and at similar pace. This also means that the club's outrageous annual memerbership fee of 2 pounds needs to be paid on the night. You'll also need to be a CTC / BC member.

Please send and email to o dot storbeck , including your CTC number, full name and mobile phone to o dot storbeck at gmail dot com. Please also acknowledge you have read the basics: http://fnrttc.blogspot.com/p/basics_05.html

Don't you need to join Fridays first to join CTC through it? And why do you need to be a CTC or BC member anyway?

because if you take one of your fellow travellers off, they've got something to claim against.....

If you paid your Fridays membership last year, you get it for free this year. Goshdarn it, that's a bargain!

Best thing in my opinion is to join the CTC right away, you don't need the Fridays for that. Joining it via the Fridays is via this link, with the Friday's code being 90044140.

They would if people have their own insurance, too. I think I remember that if one CTC member takes off another them there's no legal advice because they don't want to advise against themselves but I can't find that just now. I did find in the guidance PDF on http://www.ctc.org.uk/insurance/third-party-insurance that you're not covered if you crash into a relative or employee, which I didn't know.

I don't agree with CTC or BC and am insured through another organisation. I'm surprised if all other riders have joined BC or CTC.

Well they have. Everyone who does the FNR's knows the score and join. Don't join, you don't ride.

Anyway Olaf.
Count me in.

Be surprised then!

(But please no discussion about the pro and cons of the CTC here.)

Only FNRttC. Other FNRs don't require it. Example http://www.sfnr.org.uk/rules-of-the-sheffield-fnr/

They are nothing to do with these FNR's.
