Captain’s Coastal: Brighton special club run - this Sat 26/6

From Monty:

This summer we’ll be riding to Brighton on the last Saturday of each month: 22 May, 26 June, 24 July and 28 August, aiming to arrive directly at the Regency Restaurant, opposite the burnt out West Pier, between 12-12.30pm to start carbo loading for the return leg!

To leave Coulson South station promptly at these suggested start times you are best arriving 5-10 mins early:

8.20 15 mph group
8.40 16 mph group
9.00 17 mph group
9.20 18 mph group
9.40 19 mph group
10.00 Training group

Suggested route is via the BHF London–Brighton charity ride route including Ditchling Beacon, back via Devil’s Dyke and reverse of normal clubrun, however there are numerous options available if you want to be a bit more adventurous!

Some riders may want to turn back at Turners Hill, which is the same distance as the Charlwood cafe on the regular club run. Others may want to only ride to Brighton and get a train or car back to Croydon. For the full return ride, the estimated time back at Coulsdon South is around 5pm.

Please bring appropriate clothes, spare inner tubes, food, tools, drink, camera, cash and mobile phone. If the weather is bad we will default to the regular club run.

Monty – ACC Captain

I'm not planning to do it this time, but just a thought - suppose you want to go with the training group, you turn up at 9.45, and there's no-one left there because no takers for a training group? What do you do? (especially if you don't know the way). It happened to me last time, and I was lucky enough to be able to join one of the other groups that had left late.

I'm not doing Brighton either Rob. Might join Phil and co on their ride or just see who's heading down the cafe. Will be at CSS about 9.
