London to Brighton on a Brompton

[TC99]

I did this run for me and Macmillan Cancer Support yesterday. Great fun. The Brompton P Line soaked up all the pressure. Long descents are a bit scary on it though. Forget braking just focus on steering and keeping a bit of power going through the wheels. The hills I don't like. I have never liked them. I did ok though, lots of training.

Well done - it's over 30 years since I did the LTB. But then it was on a normal bike.

I'm well impressed. Was it to make it easier to get a train home, or is that your only bike?

When we did it, we drove a car down the night before with a roof rack so when we'd finished we could just go straight home. Though I did live in Tunbridge Wells at that time.

It was easy. I was in the pub ten mins after getting my finish medal then on the first train out. Everyone else had to wait in the wind and rain for a lorry and a coach to get them back to the start.
