I did the London to Southend on my moonlander and it was the most fun I've had in ages! Going to do the London to Brighton, only problem is I need to find someone over 18 who will do it with me! Not asking lol. Just curious if anyone's doing it?
No one? I find that hard to believe xD
🙁
Done it last three years, lovely atmosphere, little hint waiting at start is not compulsory. Cx bike ideal.
I'll be there 😀
First ride of this type (point-to point) in a big group so looking forward to the atmosphere. Will be on a 120mm F/S (smallest bike I have!) so will be overbiked but will have fun regardless.
Did it last year with a mate, both on CX's, loved it til the last South Downs descent when we both suffered a few pinch flats!
Yep, I'm the "hare" again, checking the arrows are all still there.
Every year I do it the little devil in me wants to send 3000 somewhat mixed ability riders down some of the more interesting trails as we go over the North Downs 🙂
GB
Yep. I'm in, first time and I haven't done over 45 miles before so it should be interesting.
Is sponsorship mandatory for this one?
I'm in.
Trained all year chasing hares - don't look behind Gee.. 😈
Me too. I did the south downs way 35 mile route in the summer and this looked like a good step up. I'll be on a 456.
Yep, Hopefully. Still trying to figure out the logistics of getting myself to and from Portsmouth via the trains as I assume they wont be laying any extra ones on and they tend to ban bikes altogether in the region of brighton so assuming I will have to ride out to Bognor to get a train back.
I've never had a problem just getting a train from Brighton.
What a stunning day! It was absolutely freezing (literally... It was -1) heading over the N Downs at 7.30am but when it warmed up it was gorgeous and the views over the South Downs were beautiful.
Did everyone have a good day?
