Given the Asthma UK beach to beach isn’t running this year (“boo..”), and the fact that the route is such a lovely one, I wondered if there’d be takers for a long Southern roadie get together.

The route would pretty much follow the B2B route (Bournemouth to Brighton), covers about 150 miles, and would take a few hours ( 😉 ) to complete I imagine…

There’s unlikely to be en route support, but it passes plenty of urban areas/taps/pubs.

I’m thinking..head of reet early, in order to catch the beauty of the [cough]New Forest[/cough, avoid NIMBYs], which should get us into Brighton for tea time, where we could pig out in a pizza place or something.

Train station start and finish, so would suit poor people who can’t hear the sea from their butler’s butler’s garden….

I’ve penciled in July 13th (sat).

Anyone interested???

Make it into a Double and I’m in 😯

Just to redress the NIMBY balance, you can all stop at mine in the New Forest for a cheeky cider on the way through 😀

POSTED 1 HOUR AGO #

And then you’ll pass my door 5 mins later for another cider stop!

At this rate you’ll not make 15 miles, never mind 150!!! 😉

If I am in the country I could well be up for something like that. The “reet early” train from here (Brighton) doesnt get to Bournemouth till after 8 though…

deciding which would be harder the 150 miles or the cider ever 5 miles

0800 start is fine 🙂

DrP – drop me an email and I’ll forward it to the LVIS squad – sounds like just the sort of thing a few would be interested in.

Will you be 2 ‘P’s in a pod?

No.
We’ll be on bikes.

Come on – be sensible…..

DrPea

(Clubber – will do!)

Dont be like that DrP!!

Sweet 😀

Event cancelled, unless Dez apologises and brings cake…

DrP

Wont somebody think of the Peas?

Give peas a chance!

Bump for the morning crowd..

DrP

hmm, maybe – though I’d struggle a bit for speed

or you could come to our house for peas instead ?

150 miles won’t be a race… prob 13-15mph average I’d imagine..

DrP

Very tempted. I’d have to take the day off work though.
I live just down the road from 40mpg and Ciderinsport but you’ll only find proper beer in my house.

DrP. Are you aware that the British Heart Foundation London to Brighton Night Ride is that weekend? That was bl00dy good fun last year, just over far too quickly. The following weekend is the Dunwich Dynamo which I’m hoping to ride.

Oooh – I wasn’t, but good to know.

Hmm…

I’ll prob stick to the 13th for the big ride, and of course people can join either or.. (or..both..?)

Another big fancy of mine was to to the BHF L2B route in reverse, and then return to Brighton via the off-road BHF route!!!
All in about 120 miles – would need CX tyres though!

DrP

Bump for the crowd this weekend 🙂

DrP

Be temped but on nights that weekend. Joy.

could potentially be iterested – if it goes ahead, could you drop me an email as i don’t pop on here that often now…

reasonably fit, keen to do some big miles.

I’m keen.

😀

I’m still likely to be up for it too.

Cool – a few takers then 🙂

DrP

I’m interested in this, looking to do some lengthy rides and it’s on my doorstep.

PS DrP – it’s Josh that sometimes rides on a Tuesday evening.

Nice..

Josh, you missed a treat last night – it was beautiful out!

DrP

Sounds good to me, wife’s given me a pass
