Brighton with the old cars - Sunday November 4 - honk honk wizz bang wheeze!

[ianrauk]

As with previous years some of us will be pit stopping in Crawley at the far end of the high street where the cars pit stop. You will have to walk your bikes through as they do not allow cycling. Dependent what time we leave Croydon, we should be there 9.30-10am

Please also note that the ride usually gets strung out. Don't expect a mass peleton of riders. Most seem to ride at their own pace or with mates etc

In Brighton we usually head for the Maderia Cafe for lunch... then turn round and cycle back home again.

Let's see if we can get home in daylight this year

 

[martint235]

Let's all take lights, just in case.

Of course but I do so like to get home before the sun has gone to bed!

I may wander over to Crawley unless the club decides to do a run that isn't essentially my weekday commute route with a banana stop. For once.

where is this Cafe Ian - easy to spot by flashing lights on flashy road bikes outside?

Madeira Drive. Caf is just along from the pier and the big wheel, which are definitely easy to spot.

Look for the happy go lucky soul without a care in the world moving the chairs.

i'll be leaving home at 7am (so you'll have to keep yourself busy for 15 minutes)

Ok no problems I shall wait patiently

 

[musa]

Forecast?

Bear in mind Madeira Drive might be closed to modern traffic (including bikes). Its next to the steps, here.

In order to accurately manage expectations, if the BBC forecast proves to be the concensus then I shall be staying in bed.

My plan at present is to meet at East Croydon and whizz down to Crawley. There I'll nip home and collect HMQM and the tandem, returning to the High Street for more standing around before we depart for the South Coast.
