London to Brighton

[iZaP]

So me and my friend are planning on to cycling to Brighton from Purley and back this week. We'll be using this route: http://www.endtoend.info/rides/london-brighton.asp

Both of us are amateurs, and are just ought to have fun, and to complete the challenge of course.

Apart from having enough water, food, spare inner tubes, tools, a good mood.

What else could we need on this ride?

I've searched the forum, specially for this route, read a dozen of topics, got a quite a good idea what to expect.

I'm just wondering, maybe there is another, better route than the one I posted above?

Any tips, advices will be welcome

Route looks peachy.

Good shorts and Gloves and clothing appropriate to variable weather conditions are important.
Major issue is that you're exposed to the elements for a lot of hours, so sun-protection and wind and rain protection even if it looks a sky-blue day.

Enjoy!
