BRIGHTON (and Back) Captain's Coastal 18th May 2013

[Jon C C on a Bianchi]

[size=200]Brighton here we come![/size] The first of this year's Cyclotastic Captain's Coastals is coming up -[size=150] Saturday 18th May 2013[/size]. Normal CR to Charlwood abandoned for the day.

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

Lunch at the Regency as usual!

Don't forget if you can't join us for the trip to Brighton you can always come along as far as Turners Hill - have a coffee at the Crown - 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.

The Captain

Meet CSS - leaving times as follows:

15 mph 8.15
16 mph 8.30
17 mph 8.45
18 mph 9.00
19 mph 9.15
20 mph 9.30

Thanks, I think I'll go in the middle and go with the 18's; I haven't done over 60 miles in a while! Lets just hope that rain holds back!

I'm keen, hopefully the rain will keep away, will aim for my normal speed so 16 at 8.30am. My first Brighton ride with ACC.

When do you make a call on the weather? On the day? It's not much of a difference in time so can always just have another espresso if needed!

The forecast I use it showing a 10% chance of rain.

Sorry - 20% chance of light rain but we're hard aren't we?

Right, those posts have cheered me up, thanks.... in for a good ride Saturday which is the main thing. I'm BBQ'ing every night so sure it will be a cracker.

I'm in for the 18s - does anyone have a map of the route?
