Why do you R on FN ttC?

Have you been first to the Waterfront? If not then I have some bad news for you.

Not if it is convincing them for that long it isn't.

I've never timed myself over that stretch, how long should it take?

 

[martint235]

I mostly tend to mark the left turn onto the road across the marshes and then amble along at the back, rather than wait in the queue for ages. From that point to The Waterfront is roughly 7 miles, I suspect that Cav could do that in something around 15 - 17 minutes.
As for anyone else, who cares, it is only a bit of a laugh and I would hate to think it could lead to antisocial behaviour in Whitstable, my last uncle lives there and he is well doddery.

I've been first to the Waterfront once. And then karma came to visit and made my tyre explode.

FTFY

Unfair. I've never had more than 2 pints at the waterfront

Soz must've been another time

And another town. I've been known to be slightly merry in Brighton

I think that's because, althought it doesn't look it, it's pretty much all downhill. I could be wrong ( or Mark Cavendish ).

Told you - always marking the same corners!

Nah, too steep for me. Hate steep downhills.

Merry?

Yes "merry" having imbibed one beer more than is good me

That is a very unusual stretch of road though with magical properties. It convinces people, at least for 30 minutes, that they really are Mark Cavendish

yeah, but would he go to the front? We'd all bomb down there at 23mph and, 150 metres from the crossroads, he'd rocket past. And we'd shout 'it's a T-junction, Cav' but he'd still wind up in the front garden of the house opposite.

View attachment 36891 I enjoy the company and the sheer mad improbability of it all. Here is the early morning drinks party to celebrate Simon's birthday on top of Ditchling Beacon ( year unknown ).

Some fine athletes in that pic...

and the beasts

And even Simon comes in for some stick from time to time

You could be dead, once everyone in the beasts collection has finished.

Que?
