A Place to idle the day away talking about anything you fancy. Expect to find cycling and non cycling topics inside

Brighton and back

Postby Ian A4size » Sun Aug 01, 2004 9:07 pm

A few of the agreeables are organising a bank holiday ride to brighton and back at the end of August. Its not gonna be a b@lls out attempt unless of course marek and dave findlay fancy organising a faster group who will go ahead and get the chips in! BTW you could go home on the train, I think joanna will be going for this option.
Also dont forget the French cafe club run on the sunday.
If marco doesn't mind too much I will bump this message up to the top at regular intervals.
so come on you club runners the world does not end at Charlwood cafe, stretch your legs( and bellies) on a chip run to the pier.

We aim to meet at CSS around 9-15 for a 9-30 leave, we aim to go down the way the L2B runs so its merstham, nutfield , smallfield, crawley down, turners hill, ardingley, etc.
The home route we used last time was via devils dyke then towards horsham then pick up the club run route home.
Monty, Paul Brown and myself did it in may at a reasonable pace and it took about 6 hours ( we do have a combined age of about 200!)

L2B

Postby mrP(Boonen)VT » Fri Aug 13, 2004 1:03 pm

Was that 6 hours to or from Brighton? :lol:

Is anyone particular leading this run? I have some interesting variations if you want a slightly different route?

Meet up by the beach just west of the pier (the one that's still standing) for a bite to eat.

Way back via Worthing and through Adur valley is very pleasant? 8)

It was 6 hours riding time there and back, dont know how long we spent eating, it is a good ride and only 1 fun climb on the way there!( mind you turners hill always makes me puff, but I am 13 and a half stone) most of the ride is fairly undulating and the climb up devils dyke is far less daunting than the beacon.

I went today - and barring a small intended (ahem...honest m'lud) diversion - I got to Brighton in 3h15 riding time. Pretty much followed L2B route. I tell yer - when I'm El Presidenté - that Beacon's getting flattened - it sho don't get any easier. Blew away about 2,700 calories so it's a curry tonight fer sure!!

I reckon 10 times up that in 53-11 should just about cap off your Ventoux training!

Oy - Cheeky Monkey.

I have pretty much secured a pass for this so barring disaster it's looking good (actually about half way up the beacon I'll probably change my point of view).

Oh Doctor - I can smell the chips already - will they be fried in lard or is that just too good tee contemplate
