London to Brighton tomorrow
 

Anyone else on here doing it tomorrow. Hope this wind calms down, that'll make it hard work!

You doing it then mate?

I've been saying for about 15 years that i'll do it one year, never happened and now I'm too unfit (and lazy!) :lol:

Yes mate. Doing it this year. I bought a road bike a year ago when I sold the scoob as I needed to cheer myself up and then set this as a challenge. Not so keen on the leaving brighton at 4.30am though!!

Good on you mate, hope it stays dry. :)

Cheers mate. Not so worried about the rain, I just hope the wind calms down. Wont be much fun battling against that.

Are you starting mega early then?
Not looking forward to the rain tomorrow

Not doing tomorrow... But I'm all booked up for the Off-Road Ride in September. I did it in 2011 and said 'never again' when I finished.... But some how I've ended up signing up again. We've got a group of about 10 of us doing it together so should be good fun!

Enjoy tomorrow, hope the weather holds up for you!

Have run it a few times(in under 6hrs) ,but never cycled it.If anyone fancies it next year I would be up for it.Good luck Steve,forecast is for lighter winds tomorrow.

We have a strat time of 7.00am, but the coast we are booked onto leaves brighton at 4.30!!! So gotta cycle through to Brighton at 4.00 to get that. Are you doing it?

Run it!! In under 6 hours!!!!! Blimey terry, I think they have just released a film about you.... man of steel or something :lol:

Yeah, hoping the wind calms.

Good luck mate for 2mrw hope the weather stays on your side.

It's not the wind you need to worry about Steve its the big beacon climb near the end that seems to never end!!!

I've done the L2B about 6 times now ( not this year though) and thourghly enjoyed every one of them, love the early 6:30am start then coast into Brighton for fish and chips. The decent from the beacon is mental and at 40moh odd it does make your eyes water. lol


An average time for me on the road bike is 4.5hours with the odd wee stop. Worth carrying a few banana's and a mars bar in the jersey back pockets.


Good luck fella.

Well done Steve and good LUCK !!! :doubleup:

Cheers guys. Really looking forward to it. It raises a bit of money and helps keep me fit too. Dont think i'm gonna be breaking your record Rich, and you are right, 40mph on a bike that weighs next to nothing is as scary as a lap of the ring!!!

Funny that, banana's and mars are exactly whats in the pocket!!

Yes was going to start at 7:30 but my mates I'm doing it with are starting at 8:30 so ill be lost in the crowds lol
Good luck for tomorrow

Cool, good luck to you too matey.

Good luck mate been there done it got the tee shirt mad but fun enjoy it mate

Good luck Steve, take care.

Hope your still alive Steve, how did it go?

Its today :more: Good luck x

Good luck Steve for today :ok:

Back in one piece!! God it was busy. Didn't set any records, got in in 6 hours. Took an hour to do 5 miles at the start as it was that manic. Good day out and I hurt so worth doing!!

Well done Steve, not a bad time at all. Did you enjoy the decent from the beacon?

It does get busy at the start which is why I choose to start at 6-6:30.

Well done mate good show for a old fella lol !! Hope you get a rest now and don't fall asleep at your desk at work

Thanks guys. The descent at the end makes it all worth it!! Time was ok i guess. We stopped a couple of times. Actual time moving was 4.48 according to strava. My legs are like jelly tonight though. :angst:

Well done Steve, maximum respect mate. :ok::ok::ok:

Well done mate :) Maybe next year i'll have a go, might be a good way of motivating myself to get a bit of exercise lol

Well done mate that's a good time

Well done Steve.

yes, well done m8

Hmmm, I'm thinking an Ses group ride for the London to Brighton next year!

That's not a bad idea!

It's not a bad idea....its a bloody terrible one......

Cuckoo trail from Eastbourne to Sim's for a BBQ is more to my liking ;).....

I'd could well be up for that :nod: As i said, need something to kick-start the exercise regime!

.. This is a car club!!! I'm with Scott on this :)

Well done Lucky :)

We could go flintstones style hehe

Doesn't matter what type of club it is its a good day out for a good cause. Lazy girls! Lol

:D
