One Late-To-Register-on-Cycle-Chat epidemiologist is aboard the Brighton Ride. Are we expecting others?
Though this epidemiologist has a tendency to dissolve, Wicked Witch style, in the rain, so will probably shy off if it's anything more substantial than a heavy mist.
(p.s. hi to all, and thanks for asking whether I was gonna sign up or not. It was in my diary all along, have no fear!)

Hello Naomi! (educated guess)
Forget the weather - you're coming riding whatever.
See you there!

not done a night ride in the summer as yet. How cold does it get assuming its dry? Can I get away with a jersey and arm warmers?

Clive - are you leg pulling? I will publish photos of your Sunday morning wardrobe (you're wrapped up in it somewhere!) Seriously, arm warmers with a base layer, a roll-up waterproof is good (Montaine probably, as you are one of the Sunday Blingers) and often, a buff - to ward off those early morning breezes following the restart after the break.I'd say prep for as low as 12C with layers. Personally I'll definately be wearing shorts, jersey, knee warmers and a gillet. I'll also be bringing arm warmers, an ultra packable light rain jacket and overshoes. Better too many layers that I can stuff in my pockets than not enough.
EDIT : Oi! What's bling about Montane?

Nothing. I have had one since they were made of waterproof material...Saw you at the lights on Haverstock tonight Abs - you were spinning off the light change and I was 5 behind you, turning left. I did think about catching up, which would have been ok, but didn't fancy the grind up the hill as I was riding the Solo! I'll do it next time!

Hang on, 12C, that's shorts, top and mitts isn't it? What's all this talk of winter kit? 
Aw shame I missed you. I do rather enjoy that hill but it's been hellishly busy at the upper end of late due to road works. Made up for it with a cracking pace over the heath and then got stuck behind a line of slow moving (32mph) cars on Bishops. Damn those motorists riding in the middle of the road slowing me down!
