Asspokkalyppzze Naoowww... HHSBz Slide to Brighton - 19th May 2012

This photo is amazing. Looks like a fairly normal ride, then you spot THE VEST.
Super hipster points for laner.

Looks like you all had fun, I was too hip to even sign up for it.

please also note Malaysian's Harlem Globetrotters bball jersey there, behind the signpost

Great ride, great weather, great company! Cheers all for such good day.

Is Palu actually doing a wheelie up Ditchling Beacon in this picture or is it some kind of amazing optical hipster illusion you lot have created through the use of mystical triangles?

Yes darling that was me.. I found my way to do that bloody hill Lol

Ha - didn't spot that. He gets a close 2nd place in my personal hipster rankings.

Palu is an absolute hero, i thought it was a joke but no, he actually did wheelie up ditchling. Classic!

My king of the Hill!

fixed

Although im not convinved there were many tubs, if any?
I was rolling on a tub, but as ever, gatorskin proves to be sold as a rock.

I see ONLY ONE plastic wheels...

Tut tut... Not slave enough.

Looks ace. Any closer-up bike porn? I only see one Spok and two 4-spokes in the pic...

my zipp is in that but you can't see it.

Think i need to pass on the KoM cap, strava says matt climbed ditchling about 30 seconds faster than me!

I thought we should have given kom to that chap doing reps of the Ditchling on that old steel roadie and fucking beasting it. He fucking tore past me on the way up.

I've done that. Perfectly doable, just depends on the hill

Over 200rpm!? Perfectly doable?

lol

^

?

No2 Malaysian?

lol

I love you too.

Jeesus Iain you look sexy in that beater! Come ere big boy....

Just to reiterate everyone comments, had a great fun first London to Brighton trip special thanks to Mark and Dom for coming back to help with my puncture barely out of London.

Chuffed i made it up Ditchling(mostly) on 72GI

^so you had two then?

While fixing the first i managed to snap the valve but it was holding air till the top of Ditchling when the screwybit(no idea of the technical name) fell out and let all the air out.
Sorry forgot to thank you for the tube swap aswell, would have been fucked otherwise.

oh and:
thanks Malaysian for organizing this hip ride before it became cool
thanks mr delia and mr ellis for owning the descents [esp. the first laaarge one in the middle of the ride],
thanks OSR for navigating the whole thing, awesome job!
thanks laner for ^that too, and for having a cute spok
thanks sweaty for navigating to the meeting point before the ride
thanks doktor p for being a cool chap [first dibs on wheels, told you]
thanks apollo for helping me with my 1 kg of flapjack
thanks dom for the stickers
thanks to the horse for doing a shit instead of doing a skid [clearly misheard]
and huge thanks for the rest for lols and good vibes!
especially in the train back lol

I think DoktorP should thank you for not nicking his wheels!

^ That's true, Thank you Martin for looking after/at them and leaving them there I need them most, in place :)
Dibs noted!

I've put a few photos up on our Flickr... HERE!

Great little ride, good to meet you all :)

Those are great photos! I particularly like the fourth in the series.
