Bromley to Newhaven 1st Dec

[Trickedem]

I will be riding to Newhaven this Sunday. We will leave Bromley South station at 7.50. This will be a briskly paced ride (15-16 mph avg). It is 51 miles to Newhaven, where we will stopping for something to eat. At that point you could catch the train home, or ride back. The weather forecast is for a dry day

Count me in. See you at the Station.

I might ride the new bike on this. Don't have lights though. Might need to buy something, if only for the last bit of the ride back

 

[ianrauk]

Yes, Sunset is 15.54.. so will need lights.

Just hope @Adrian is riding with you, he'll sort you out.

I don't go near Bromley if I can help it. I have been run over twice and knocked off my bike once all in Bromley High St.

The residents of Bromley......... no I'll leave it alone after all.

By pedestrians? Surely done for the greater good ...

Vigilante groups I expect.

Bromley Contingent more like,. They're very hot on indicating:

We've done no wrong with our blinkers on

Just been preparing the route to put on my Garmin. Tim, there's a couple of places where we appear to disappear cross-country, are these vagaries of the map or cycle paths? If they are cycle paths, I assume I'll be ok on 23s?

I will double check the route today, definitely trying to stick to roads, so 23s will be fine

It may just be the vagaries of RidewithGPS. On my setup, around Lewes, we leave the A275 onto the A2029 then skip a little bit onto Gundedra Road. Then a little further SW just after Lewes Womens Rugby club we head off into the middle of nowhere.

I'm really looking forward to this, my first 100 miler since LEL!!!

@martint235
Lelly must be feeling unloved.

Yep, apart from the odd commute she's only been out for one 65 miler a couple of weeks ago.

And if you get on the boat and end up in Dieppr, you will be in breach of your Ts&Cs.

I don't think I'm actually barred from Dieppe yet. I'm thinking of returning next year......
