This is one of the longest.
So about 2 pm if I remember rightly.

Train for me then.

I'll be needing some sleep before then.

Sounds like you'll have time for some post-ride rehydration...

Apologies if this is located in some sticky someplace or even on the Fridays site (i cant find it if it is) but does anyone have a GPX of the Felpham ride...and also the London to Brighton.

I'm keen to do both with a friend during daylight hours in the coming weeks.

PS I know I could map it myself but I'm idle by nature and am sure someone already has.

Cheers

FNRttC - Bognor Regis (Felpham) - April 2010
Definitely Not the Christmas Night Ride to the Coast - Bognor - January 2011
FNRttC - Bognor - June 2010

If you look under my name (TimothyO) on GPSies you'll find other FNRttC routes, including Brighton, Southend and Whitstable, as well as other less common destinations.

The reason that these are not Canon, and listed on the FNRttC Blog, is that they are liable to change at a moments notice, based on weather and dellzeqq's whim. The route has changed to deal with multiple mechanicals, hours of continuous drizzle, roadworks, potholes, and probably for other reasons, so these routes are for guidance only. They will also change as better approaches to that destination become apparent or changes are made to roads which make a given route better or worse. You have been warned.

Differing routes may be better with a smaller group, and conditions will also change in daylight vs a night ride. Some roads are much quieter during the hours of darkness, conversely some roads are probably perfectly usable during the day, but would be an unwise choice for a large group in dark conditions (eg a pothole strewn fast downhill). The Jan 2011 above was undertaken by 5½ of us, but doesn't use the offroad part of the current Bognor FNRttC, the road option used is busier during daylight, and hillier, but probably OK for a small group.

And if you want the Sutton variation used last year, that's shown here.

 

[dellzeqq]

do any of the old-timers have a view on the relative merits of the Epsom and Sutton variations?

Well with the Sutton variation we do have to run the Sutton High Street drunken nobber gauntlet.

I was going to say that the Sutton variation stretches the notion of "merit" somewhat...
