BRIGHTON AND BACK RIDES DATES for 2015

[Jon C C on a Bianchi]

Saturdays

30th May
27th June
25th July
22nd August



Wear ACC kit, bring money, camera, spare inner tubes, snacks etc.

Lunch at the Regency as usual!Free cake at Nonna's!

Don't forget if you can't join us for the trip to Brighton you can always come along as far as Turners Hill and make your own way home. It's about the same distance as the normal CR. And of course, there is no compulsion to do the there and back - many ride to Brighton but take the train back.


Anyway, whatever you decide...

Be there or be square and happy cycling.

Hi Jon,

What are the return times to CSS normally for this ride? 2pm ish??

[Jon C C on a Bianchi]

Only if you've got a rocket up your arse!! Depends on the group and how fast you ride, Fred. More like 4.00 - 5.00. Could be later.

[Fred Dyer]

Got that wrong didn't I

Ah I will have to give this one a miss as that is too late for me Jon. It was unexpected that I would be available for this anyway but the morning became free until around 3pm.

Have a great day!

Skip the lunch and ride straight back. You'll be back by three. As a rough guide the 17s should reach Brighton by about 11.30. Three hours hard riding and you'll be back at Coulsdon South by 2.30. It could be done.

Take the train back ?

Brighton to East Croydon can take as little as 36 mins. The average time is 46 mins. There are about 108 trains per day that make the journey, so getting back by wonish should be fairly easy imo.

John: do those earlier timings hold for the other dates too?

Cheers John. I'd better have an early night tonight!

[Jon C C on a Bianchi]

yeah, I'm keeping it down to two glasses of merlot tonight AND an early night. We suffer for our sport don't we?

[JorgeG]

I may go, if the little monster doesn't require more than 2-3 nappy changes over the night.
