Night Ride London to Brighton, 5th Sept - NOW CLOSED

[Tim Hall]

Many thanks again to Olaf for setting this up. It looks likely to be warmer than Cardiff-Swansea! Is the plan to stop at Gatwick? Or is there an alternative?

First post suggests it's Gatwick.

I think the clue to the halfway stop was quite well hidden......

Gatwick Airport for halfway stop

Sorry - should have checked back.....

I'm out. Sorry.

I was wondering why the thread title now states "NOW CLOSED" ? The ride is on public roads and is not exclusive or am I missing something?

It's Olaf's ride and he can choose who and how many people he want's on the ride.
If you read the thread you'll see It's about managing the numbers.

+1. Some of us are still undertaking our diplomas in cat herding.....

Just an FYI, the Brighton Speed Trials are this coming Saturday morning. Shouldn't affect us too much though.

I'm really sorry, but I'm out too. Olaf - you have a PM.

Fair enough, but one can't stop one tagging along, it is after all the public highway.

Jeez.. no one's disputing that are they.

True... but I always wonder when people say this... why would you want to tag along after a ride you're not part of?

Indeed.
The London to Brighton charity ride or the London 100 ride I can understand, but a small social ride I don't.

After a bit of sharp elbowed cajoling on today's ride. I am a tentative for this if there's still room, as not working Saturday. Might join after Tooting but Ditchling will probably be walked! If the sleep deprivation has knock on effects re health, I'll bail at Gatwick but will confirm.

Hope you can make it. It'll be as good as Monday night was
