FNRttC Friday Night Ride to the Coast - Brighton 3rd August

[GrumpyGregry]

Sort of toying with ride up - ride down - ride home as means of not having to use a Brompton.

Any takers for a Crawley-ish ride up posse?

C'mon peeps. Push yourselves & Ride back.. it's really not that hard. Especially so with team slow on the go. Could be a few maiden 100's in the offing.

I should probably do one one day. Unfortunately these days I worry less about distance than being completely knackered for work 8am the next day. I also remember Rich P deciding that he was offski in Ashford . Similarly that's probably Felpham for me too.

London Bridge to Hyde Park Corner is not the world's easiest ride. We'll try and get something organised.

I'm up for this. I'm not sure whether I'll do a SMRbtH, possibly in the company of various on here, including Clarion and his good lady, who only live a short distance from me, or dig out the Brompton, and do the maintenance on it, which is very overdue.

An email will be sent to dellzeqq momentarily.

Fix the brommie anyway!

 

[ceepeebee]

Me please Sir!
This will be only my second SMRbtH, the first, from Brighton when Ian lured me with promises of an 'easy pace & a flat route'.
Lying git!!
I did however, achieve my first imperial ton.

Email en route.

there seems to be a theme developing here....

I can divert up to London Bridge on my way in and guide people to HPC if you like.

Hey who brought me into it? I don't race. I set a steady pace (into a headwind if necessary) that will guarantee that I make it home to my magnums at a reasonable time.

 

[musa]

Lol I'll bare that in mind

And probably the finest wind breaker there is...

I wouldn't want to be behind him when he breaks wind.

Could I just point out that I'm not as a rule a brown beer drinker and it is those that do drink brown beer that, in the words of Nursey, let off great, big, flabby woof woofs.

Likewise. I always come that way and other than The Strand, which can be busy, it's pretty straighforward. (if you're used to cycling in London that is)
