FNRttC Friday Night Ride to the Coast 19th November - Brighton 2010

[Aperitif]

My Cyo turned up in the post today, so I've quickly bodged it onto the bike, and put the dynamo wheel on.

With the twin Hopes as well, I'll be packing some heat tonight!

...I put some fairy lights and a Christmas tree on mine - as a sort of 'award winning' celebration / Christmas theme...

OK by popular demand, having first achieved my primary objective of fixing the shower

Excellent - thanks for sorting out the weather!

I always remember you doing a great job at Gatwick on the ride to Newhaven this summer when you seemed to use your i-phone to disperse the rainclouds - I hope the magic touch continues!

Well the fog has now settled on Sarf East London, visibility around 50 -75 yards

Thanks Clive - where are you off to...an 'all-nighter' at Heaven again?

any allnighter with Clive would be heaven...

no fog here, and my guess is that we'll leave it behind somewhere around Sutton. Which is like Bromley. But more posh.

Peasoup up at Chesham at the mo. My train just leaving.
Is this brave or mad or what?

I'm about to leave Croydon. I'll see you all in just under an hour or so, at Hyde Park Corner.

Have a great ride everybody. Enjoy the last FNRttC of the year. And Simon, congratulations on the award! Very well deserved.

Meeting over ran as meetings do. Now aiming to intercept the ride somewhere in Surrey, Simon having kindly rung and said Betchworth, Newdigate as being likely landmarks en route. Adrian's texts implies the Carlton will be out tonight.

Betchworth has a ring to it Faygate at 03:30 so what Betchworth Station an hour or so before? They are bound to slow down for the level crossing there aren't they?

sounds like a plan.

in other news: I've got to go back to the shed. Someone has bought my eBay bike and wants to collect it at 09:00 tomorrow. Good job my wife loves me innit?

Simon
Many thanks for you efforts in organising a great ride. Sign me up for march please.

Wheee! What a road trip!
Lovely route, love to try it on a fine day. (Simon you wre going to send me it, please?)
Sutton was an interesting locale - lively locals and (I'm told) slightly posher than Croydon.
Thank you to all, as ever, for good company, and fine organisation.
Roll on March!
