FNRttC to Brighton March 9th

[mcshroom]

Thanks (Conti would be great thanks - or anything else really)

 

[Tim Hall]

Whilst Adrian's and StuAff's replies are helpful, they haven't addressed the key issue: Which brand of talc would Sir like his tubes doused with?

 

[dellzeqq]

belated birthday greetings, Timster!

Weather is looking alright isn't it? About nine degrees and a gentle crosswind. I'll take it!

Cloudy, so no Northern Lights, but don't forget the tin foil:

Hmmm ... this will be me ...

Alas I am needed elsewhere from early on Saturday morning for the rest of the day so cannot spend the night in funster mode with matey-chums with bike up the Beacon, as it were. I was looking forward to seeing Charlie B's new mount. Mr Dell has had apologetic email. See you on the Bognor ride.

No, that won't be until the end of the month, fingers x'ed. It's probably the jolly little blue and yellow Brompton tonight.

Have a good ride everyone and sorry I can't make it, looks like it is going to be a good one.

There goes my USP: i was the only folder on the Whitstable ride.

Simon, I'm not sure if this has been mentioned but the bottom end of Ditchling Road (as you head down towards St Peters Church into the town proper) is closed to traffic.
I just go onto the pavement on the right for 50 yards, which I suggest you do, but a convoluted diversion is signed.

 

[slowmotion]

I hope you all have a great ride.

yup - they've been told. It's a walk around.

Not even a little bit tempted to do this one on my Brommie.

 

[GrumpyGregry]

Only a teensy bit tempted to take mine. It does have to be done some time though.

I agree. Perhaps next Brighton? Will we persuade Sooz?

 

[theclaud]

I had mentally pencilled Southend in.

Yes that does sound a bit mental.

 

[User10571]

Have a good ride, all!

I confess to having succumbed to the lure of cordite and commercial explosives, which prevent me from joining y'all tonight.

Enjoy the road.

And the ride.
