if you're doing the ride 100 you're lucky! no sympathy

[MattR]

Yes I am, I got lucky in the ACC team draw. Fair enough no sympathy required, and one easy solution is not to do the Brighton run

[Elliot M]

You (and I) still have the other 4 rides!

Looking forward to these, not done one for a few years (and I think last time I got the train back..) Just about a century from my place.

[MattR]

Hi Julian, yeah Sam has clarified with you on the other thread, but yes your in the team. We better get some distance training in.

[JulianG]

cant wait, the coastals are a good base training for it, its the hills that get me, im good on the flat and the miles dont worry me, gonna be a great day.

[MattR]

I'm probably the opposite I go up pretty well but very limited experience of that sort of distance.

[JulianG]

Be a good idea to meet up for a ride or two before hand?

[ColinM]

Julian/Matt - I think it would be a good idea to do a few rides together and sort out a plan for the day, e.g., ride together and regroup at hill tops etc. in addition to the coastals - I've ridden a similar distance before.

[MattR]

@ColinM @JulianG, I'm planning on running with the Alternative boys and the 16s this Saturday if you'd like to join?

[HSam]

What's the route for the Captain's Coastal? And do we need to bring locking devices for our bikes in Brighton, or do they join us for tea?
