A few of the Herts guys, @jayonabike & @toptom expressed an interest in doing London to Brighton run.
So here it is.
Plan is Jay and the guys will get the train from Hemel Hempstead to London Euston then make the 13 or so miles across London to meet me and whoever else in Croydon for 9am with arrival hopefully in Brighton for 1pm ish
We will follow the Veteran Car/Historic vehicle route to Brighton. Which means the A23 all the way to Crawley, Pease Pottage, Handcross, Staplefield, Cuckfield, Burgess Hill, Hassocks and Clayton. Joining the A23 bike path at Pyecombe for the ride in to Brighton for fish and chips on the beach. So fast main road riding for most of it.
From Euston it's about 60 miles, from Croydon about 13 less.
I am planning this on being a quite fast ride. With just stops to regroup and perhaps a coffee/snack in Crawley.
Return will be via Devils Dyke (sorry Ross) to Handcross, Pease Pottage and back on the A23 to Croydon and London. Means for a bit of country lane riding on the way back.
So it will be me.
