Huzzah ! Good call. You'll not regret it.
My first full FNRttC was a Brighton ride, probably 2008. It was wonderful, except that the b*gger with the coffee never showed up in Ditchling.

I'm considering breaking my duck on this ride too. The speed and distance doesnt bother me, my main worry is the sleep deprivation.
How do people cope with working all day Friday, riding a bike to Brighton and staying awake until mid day on Saturday? I worry I'll fall asleep on the bike.

Be good to have you join us Beebo.
The ride, the cameraderie, the chatter, all keeps one awake.
I am in the lucky position of not working on a friday so I can get a couple of hours kip in the evening before heading out.
Plus I ride back home..... so have to stay awake.....

I work a late shift- finishing 9.30 or hopefully a bit later- so usually get the train up straight after work. I have tried having an afternoon nap when I've had time off, but it didn't make much difference. Adrenalin & cake will keep you going

Southern don't do bike reservations on their services. The Londonpeeps have never had a problem getting on. Nor have I, when I've gone for the westbound ones.
No need for trains back from Brighton.
Always plenty of space.
You could of course join the SMRbtH...

is that S for Saturday or Sunday?
longest ride to date 117km, not sure if turning round and going back would be sensible or even possible,
if its Sunday and involves a day in Brighton I could remove my testicles to save weight and save my wife the bother when I tell her

I guess different people react differently, but I don't feel at all sleepy on the rides (physically tired, maybe, sleepy, no) or even on my little morning homeward rides (I don't ride all the way home) BUT as soon as I stop cycling then tiredness hits me. On the train back I have been known to choose to stand up, because I just know that if I sit down, then the chances of me being awake and getting off at the right stop are slim to zero.

hmm that might hurt, is it slow or is it Cav wannabees ? (I want to be a Cav wannabee but I'm too old and fat to be one)
