Hello I have a quick question - I would like to do this (especially as it would be good training for my charity ride in early May) but friends would rather do the 'proper' Brighton FNRTTC. Is this nicer/easier/more interesting? Basically is there any ammunition you can give me to convince them to do this over Brighton? Or are they right?
This is a tad more interesting.
A tad = about 25,000% in modern parlance. Involves hiking, Arundel, sunrises, thirst and all the usual baloney relating to cycling, being blinded by someone else's rear lights, stopping outside people's windows where they are trying to get some kip, wondering if you really will get castrated for 'wearing' mudguards...
Tell your mates: Do this. Do a BrightonFN. Do the Martlets Sponsored Ride, again to Brighton later in the year. If they don't like that choice of sumptuous fare... dump your mates and get some decent ones!
Someone serious will be along in a moment.
