FNRttC FNRttC to Brighton 8th May 2009

[stoatsngroats]

Is it necessary to pre-register, or can I just meet you at HP?? Still to early for me to commit at this stage!

 

[Tony]

I'm going on holiday tomorrow - so there's no need to register before 17th April. I've got some (about a dozen) names, so, if you're one of those dozen (and that includes the Hull quintet) have no worries.

We (myself, Dahlmeister Tony, Scoutmeister TimHall, and User10571meister User10571) are looking to increase the capacity of the ride, so we're hoping that all those that wants to come gets to come.....

I wouldn't mind mastering young Miss Dahl, but I think I shall set my sights on dhal this time, lol

 

[Davywalnuts]

Ere up, am in please!

 

[hatler]

I'm considering this one
What kind of average pace does the ride go at? Also, do you wait for fat boys to climb Ditchling Beacon?!

Thanks,
SD

Always.

Mr & Mrs Paddington looking forward to arriving in Brighton (together...) in the early hours of 9 May

That would be a first, wouldn't it ?

 

[redjedi]

I might be interested in this one.

How far is it to Brighton?

Do we get to have a nap at some point? It's very late and well past my bed time

 

[Sittingduck]

Hi Redjedi

I think it's about 62 miles or so from HPC. Not sure about the route though - guess one of these seasoned veterans can confirm

 

[redjedi]

How! Sitting Duck

62 miles is that all. We might as well do a round trip *

It will be a good way to break in your new ride.


*(what are the trains like back)

 

[Sittingduck]

Trains back (for me anyway) are pretty good. Only about 45 - 50 mins I think to Clapham Junction.

If I do this ride it will probably be on my Globe, mind you... furthest I have been so far on the road bike is 30 miles (not used to the saddle or riding position yet, really). Also looking for a different frame

Cheers
SD

I'm seriously tempted. Let's see if I can sweet talk Mrs. KH.

Come do the whole round trip with me and Aperinuts, around 130 miles me reckons..

And you got a new ride?

Hmm we'll see
New bike can be seen here
Frame issues though and hopefully by 8th May I will have a decent framre and the components swapped across. Still probably use my Spesh Globe for the ride though!

EDIT: Just realised DWalnuts wasn't even talking to me was he

Are the kids doing it this month? I'm tempted, but exams start a couple of days later so it would be a last minute decision.
