Night Ride to Brighton 25 June

Postby mrP(Boonen)VT » Fri Apr 04, 2008 1:22 pm

Planned to do a night ride to Brighton on 25 June and aim to get to Ditchling for sunrise, which is around 4:45am, so intend to leave CSS at 2:30am, and only a couple of hours of darkness.

There is a 24 hour cafe called [url=http://www.buddies24hour.net/]Buddies[/url], which I intend to try out beforehand.

Anyone welcome - not a race pace bash.

It is a Wednesday for a number of reasons......1, I am racing both weekends either side (RTTC National 50 on 21st and SCCU 50 on 29th,

2. there a club 10 on the 24th.

3. It is as near as I could get to the longest day of the year



I'll just take Thursday off work and ride the handicap later on in the day.

I'd quite fancy this, however after seeing the ever quicker Mr PVT leading this, not so sure. When you say easy are we talking easy (?) or very easy? :lol: :lol:

I'm on a long golf weekend break with the boys before this and hope to be back in time and if I can pass a sobriety test.
I hope I do so I can join in on the run :D .
Is it going to be a return trip? or is the train going to take the strain on the way back?.

I wonder if I can get a bucket and spade to fit in my bottle carrier :roll:

This sounds good, put me down for this, although I will have to borrow some lights.
