London to Brighton night ride, March 6th

[User10571]

The trouble with my kitchen is that, thanks to my neighbour building an extension, I get to see significantly less sky from the window than I used to.
However, thanks to the highly reflective surfaces of my quarter-turn mixer taps and stainless drainer, whenever there is a full moon, as I stand by teh sink, I see the moon's reflection in the aforementioned and this gives rise to the unsurprising hankering....
One day, soon, I should send the inevitable email, confirming that I have read the basics....

Best of luck to all of you! Would love to meet some of you cyclechat guys and gals. I'll be riding on my hi-vis Merida for Lymphoma research with a few friends, we'll also be taking part in the next Brighton event in a few months if anyone's planning anything?

Not like the avatar.
I'd fit right in at some of the gigs I go to if I looked like that. A large proportion of Friday's crowd would probably think it was a bad trip......

The Fridays never have bad trips ... or so I've read ....

Is there a group riding back? Can't get to the main event but might leave at dawn and meet you down there...

alternatively, you can join my DIY 200 Audax from Brighton to London via Maidenhead and St Albans, also eyeing a 9am departure

As per @ianrauk , do you have a route? I could go back to Oxford thataway! But I may be too slow to join you as am currently planning to ride to London tomorrow, but interested in the routing .....

Hmm could be tempted to pop out a cheeky 300K @redfalo - anyone else with you?

@mikeee are you riding back up?

Probably @Gordon P and @AKA Bob up to Maidenhead, and @Michael Adu for the whole gig.

It all depends a bit on the weather. I'm not sure if I can motivate myself if there was a considerable turn to the worse.
