hi jasny... i have another person with potential dibs, however if this doesn't work out I'd be happy to ship to the states.

the title says it all!

You reckon security would be suspicious of 50 sweaty men dressed like vampires strolling through departures?

Ah I see what you mean - that's actually much better as you skip all the big roads around gatwick and connect to Balcombe Rd far easier.

Nice one, will make the changes now

Cool cool - well hopefully the weather will be great and we'll all be well stocked so can just cycle past! Cheers for the advice guys

@Piccylawn

cool - just PM'd you

ha, yeah I wish

Personally I won't plan on stopping at Gatwick - however I think it's nice to have an option should it start raining and we need shelter or if someone needs some food/drink etc?

@balmain perfect - cheers

**Very nice Claud Butler road frame for sale. **
Not sure of it's age but I'd guess late 70's. Seat tube is 58.5cm from centre to top of the lug.

Structurally it is in almost perfect condition with only scratching to the paint - NO RUST.

It is reconditioned Reynolds 531, nice and light weight and also has internal cable routing so good for a geared or single speed build up.

Smart Nervex lugs and Suntour drop outs.

Has bottom bracket shells still in as I don't have the correct tool to remove them.

I'm reluctantly selling as really need some cash - can meet in central London on the weekends, or pick up from Shoreditch/Hackney weekdays

**£75 **

Also selling a Shimao 600 Aero seatpost - 27.2 SOLDSOLDSOLD
It has been polished so the branding is no longer visible - still good condition though and would look good with some more polishing

SOLD

What's the secret to getting through without going under gates

What's the secret to getting through without jumping gates?!

It's a shame you can't join us, hopefully next time

I'm in then.

sure I'll be regretting that decision on the night...

@Skive - are you riding fixed? If so I'll join you on Ditchling....

Hey Oliver, i've put a link above to a mapmyride route - that should be working?

We did this route last weekend and it was fantastic - but yeah had a little difficulty navigating Gatwick but think we have it sorted now... involved going through a hotel car park and jumping a wooden gate! All fun though.

As for Ditchling i've never tried it myself as riding fixed gear - although I hear that hasn't stopped a lot of people so may try it this time. Think it's quite nice to have the option at the end of either tackling Ditchling or hitting the A23... which was actually a nice downhill cruise into Brighton last time.

This time I'll stop being a pussy though and try Ditchling!

Will you be joining us?

Here's a better link to the route

http://www.mapmyride.com/ride/united-kingdom/london/864128654048542840

will tidy it up a bit before the day but this gives you a good idea

Alright guys - if you're keen to join the ride let us know on this thread

http://www.lfgss.com/thread52835.html

or on the FB page we link to so we can get an idea of numbers - looking like 30 or so at the moment so should be a good group.

We did the practice run this Sat and the route is really nice

Rode to Brighton on Saturday... after a couple of tyre blow outs, wrong turns and encounters with potholes it was dark and we realised we wouldn't make the last train home... so stopped in the next pub we came across and made the most of it!

Rolled into Brighton at about 1:30am, stuffed ourselves with burgers and chips and got the 3:48am train back!

Best fun I've had in a while...

Cool - we did the route on Saturday night and it's amazing... a few minor changes, these will be up over the next week or so

Here's the Facebook event page:

Brother Cycles and The 5th Floor are getting together to organise an overnight ride from London to Brighton. This is not a race and is approximately 60 miles long so open to anyone who wants to have a bit of fun over the Halloween weekend.

We'll all meet at Trafalgar Square for Midnight on Saturday 30th October, riding through the night and arriving in the early hours of Sunday morning. Where we can watch the sun come up (weather permitting), have some food and gradually get trains back throughout the day. These start from about 3:30am so shouldn't be any problems there.

Halloween Costumes!
Knog lights and Landscape Magazine have kindly donated some products as sponsors of the ride. We'll be giving these out to the best Halloween costumes in Trafalgar Square... so make sure to dust off your best costumes!

As for the route this is still to be finalised - currently we're planning on using the following:

http://www.mapmyride.com/ride/united-kingdom/london/864128654048542840

(you have a choice at the end of tackling the dreaded Ditchling Beacon or going around this and taking the A23 into town - as show on the link above)

We're doing a practice run this weekend so this could well change - if anyone has some suggestions as to a good night route then we're all ears.

(we've done the practice run now and the route is perfect)

Please note that this will not be like the Dunwich Dynamo in that there will not be any wardens, the route will not be lit with lanterns etc and we will not be handing out any sort of route maps before we leave. Therefore please print out your own route maps before you leave and make sure that you have sufficient food, inner tubes, tools etc to be able to make your own way to Brighton.

That being said please keep a look out for your fellow riders! If someone in your group gets a flat then stop to help them and they'll do the same for you and we'll all arrive happily and in good time.

It would be great if anyone interested could add their names below so we can gauge what sort of numbers will be turning up.

Hope to see everyone there.

Cheers

tyres are sold now

Yeah sorry their not the Berlin Editions

**Price drop - **down to £20 for the pair

I've got a feeling they're the standard Twin Rail Courier - so 1mm anti-puncture protection instead of the 2.5mm on the Berlin tyres.

I haven't actually ridden a pair before - are they good in the wet?
