Minor pernickety point. The destination of the June 2nd ride is Shoreham-by-Sea not Shoreham-on-Sea

Will be signing up to many new rides this year once I have bought a more suitable bike.

You managed them on that bike, you don't need another bike. Of course, we all know there's a big difference between need and want.

And that bit is bang-up-to-date and correct.

Very, very interested in joining some of these rides and sorry if I'm being thick in asking the same question as someone else - my BC membership (plus a whopping £2 FNRttC membership) will allow me to join the rides? I.e. no need to sign up to Cycling UK...

Wot. No Brighton?

Wot. No Brighton?

The Ride Leaders decided to take the Classics and put them on an biennial schedule. This year we've got Southend and Whitstable, each x2. Plus revisiting a few of last year's inaugural routes. Plus some brand new ones. Mix it all up a bit. Brighton, it was felt, gets lots of attention without trying too hard.

Wot. No Brighton?

Shoreham is a better version of Brighton - it's identical up to the halfway stop and the breakfast place is far better. In the sense that there's a distinct lack of sitting in a gale as gobbets of freezing water hurtle into your sausage and beer is available in the warmth of a comfy chair three paces from the breakfast table.

Erm... ahem. Would going up a mahoosive hill very slowly count?

Perfect timing, my bike has been stolen. Guess it is now a case of need rather than want.

If you remove the word 'mahoosive' that works for me

I really must get myself sorted and do one of these. I have a 'thing' about getting back home though, so need to get over that one first. I think getting to the start would be OK as I can get on the Heathrow Express from T5 to Paddington FOC after 7pm and the bike should be ok...

What's your "thing" ? We live in the same neck of the woods it's fairly easy to get home either by the smrbth or trains if I don't feel like riding back I've got the train back to Victoria then cycle over to Paddington or have ridden back home from London when the weather was exceptionally nice
