FNRttC FNRttC - All aboard for Shoreham on 12th October

[Flying Dodo]

And so with autumn mists now appearing, we now arrive at the final night ride of the year - Shoreham.

A few new roads from last time, but still 60 miles of tarmac, some hills which aren't hills, but no castles. And not forgetting the magnificent breakfast at the end in the stunning art deco terminal building at Shoreham Airport.

Due to Network Rail changing dates, trains back to London will be running a slightly extended loop via Littlehampton.

More details and the registration form can be found on the website link here.

Some hills which aren't hills....remember who wrote that folks, he's got form

I'm in, but which hills ain't hills - name names!

 

[Flying Dodo]

If I told you now, that would spoil all the fun of riding!

Given that the South Downs are misnamed, a large amount of climbing is a certainty. Calling them rises, gradients, slight uphills....is mere wordplay. Them thar is hills....

 

[mmmmartin]

Yebbut no Ditchling, innit.

 

[hatler]

Quite likely. I will confirm later.

 

[Mark Grant]

[GrumpyGregry]

In expectation of hillage I shall carry eleven gears.

2x12 is the new best thing. Apparently.
