London to Brighton price

[Cambie]

Hi all,
Thinking of doing the London to Brighton for the first time this year. Can anyone tell me the price and if you have to raise a minimum level for a charity etc?
Cheers.

This one?

Either that one or the September one.

Someone here may be able to help in terms last year

Probably threads for the other ones. September appears to be for a charity other than the BHF

You could have come with us yesterday for free.

£35 I think and there was no minimum needed. Did it last year. And I've entered the off road one in September this year and I think that was the same price.

FNRttC?
Google it.

Unless I'm misunderstanding it, here is a minimum sponsorship requirement of between £100-150 depending which one you enter.

That looks really interesting. There blog says they are taking a break for 2015 though. I'll look forward to next year.

It's £40 now. Priority price was £35.
Spooky coincidence, I've just created a thread in 'Charity Rides'

Definitely wasn't a minimum for the on road version last year, just entered how much you were aiming for, I put £50

Keep an eye out on The Inrofmal Rides section of this forum. The FNRttC itself is taking a break, but many of the riders post on cyclechat and I'll bet there will be some Informal FNRttC style rides later in the year.

I am planning on running a London to Brighton ride in a couple of months time. Perhaps it would be a good idea to run it for those that will be in training for the charity rides or those that haven't done the ride before.

You know, you could just do it. Catch the train in London one day and then cycle back. I did on a whim, 16 inch wheels and one gear (in a dress) 3 years ago, with the help of some fellows here

Maybe the OP wants to be part of and experience something that is big and well known and for charity? And although full of bikes, aren't the roads closed?

3 of those 4 reasons are why I'm doing Ride London

A lot, but not all, of the roads are closed

I think there's only a few parts that are officially closed (fairly sure Ditchling is) - the rest the roads are technically open. But xx,000 cyclists seem to deter motorists from using them

Edit: I live on one of the roads & always move the car a couple of roads away that weekend
