No bastard makes it there alive during the day. Why would a night ride be less likely to result in certain death? :)
Saturday is best.

Yeah, I'm with Jonny. We need to get this in the diary. Sat 5th sounds good. Can villa-ru change the title of this thread and maybe get it stickied?

I'm sure most of the waiting around last time was, apart from the attack of 50/14, due to punctures. So, without wanting there to be 'rules', could people agree to having puncture resistant tyres, as well as ridable/stoppable gear choices of course!

t.o.
i just got back from a spur of the moment l2b with a couple of friends, 1x roadie, 1xmtb and me SS. was a good ride, took a while though (due to getting lost, repeatedly) 5.something hrs can't remember when we arrived. i had to stop a couple of times on ditchling to get my breath back, but didn't walk, which was nice. quick swim, fish and chips on the pier, next train home.

tried to follow this route, it was good, apart from where we went sailing by turnings...

I've ridden to Brighton Twice. Once geared, once fixed. Got rained pissed on both times. - That's my curse.

I'd like to give this another go, but I'm not chiselling my name into the stone of the list yet.

I'm up for leaving early - depending on weather...
Looking at the long range weather report though does not fill me with hope -

Monday 31st March 2008 to Sunday 13th April 2008
sheep in frosty field

“Cool but less windy.”

Winds will generally favour a north to northwesterly bringing cool conditions with the risk of frost. Temperatures below average, well below in Scotland. Wettest conditions may be in the southeast.

If we could meet at 8 and set off by half past that'd be ideal...
