Link to the whole route directions.

There is one mistake in it tho - just delete the line that mentions Lindfield and Haywards Heath.

Good luck!

Check the London to Brighton ride thread for what has become the accepted route down there.

+1 - look on the 'Day by the Seaside' thread for a cheat sheet and links to a map.

London to Paris - very possible to do fixed in 2 days - we did Brighton to Paris in 1.

Other than that, London to Oxford is nice, or more long distance we were thinking Amsterdam at some point...

I have one of these. It's good and it's light - so you might even get in under your weight limit. I have been on several 2-3 week trips and taken everything i needed in the box, under 32kg. Might not work for Christmas packing tho ;-)

I know that several people on the forum have these boxes and have had good experiences. Short-haul, people say that a bag is OK, but I wouldn't risk it personally.

These boxes are pretty cheap at the moment. Worth the investment...

good luck mate!

by the way, this should interest you (and elvis too) - check out the article in issue 2, page 32

spotting yourself in the dark. hmmm...

Nicely
will be there

hi guys,

i've done the overnight to brighton this year (and cycled it probably 10 times in all over the summer). it's a nice ride, but i don't think you want to go on main roads - traffic at night can be dangerous in the countryside.

there are route directions for a nice route here, which the forum did in august. the map of it is here

.

you will get VERY cold. and you will need REALLY GOOD lights - front and back. whichever way you go you'll be doing at least 20 miles on unlit roads, so it will be completely pitch black and probably foggy. i would definitely ride it with a brake, too.

if you're experienced at this sort of thing that must all that sounds patronising, so sorry, but it's better to know what you're getting yourself in for if you're not.

all that said, it will be pretty fun. i would set off at midnight, with a hipflask, and try and bomb it as quickly as possible to keep warm. there are two 24 hour cafes in brighton - the market diner on circus street, and buddies on the seafront, quite near the palace pier.

may try and join you but i have a lot of family stuff going on at the weekends...

have fun!

smile fail.

from will's photos. don't think i was trying to look like that?

laminator fail?

CHEERS WILL AND TYNAN!

hey kelvin,

i might be pretty late - maybe 9 ish.. maybe not at all, as i have a big deadline in the morning. but i reckon i'll make it, and an establishment showing the spurs match (eg the fiddlers) would be fantastic!

These bars are all about the hand positions!

holding it up at the stem is good for reducing wind resistance, especially on waterloo bridge.

you can also fit your feet into the hoops and lean back for a nice relaxing descent. You missed that bit :)

totally agree... i have inverted north road bars and they're well good. give you a bit of a 'bomber command' look too...

btw - i only saw your/teenslains-ex bike in the first bike thread about a week ago. i talked to him ages ago about those rims and bought some cos i wanted deep profile 27"s, but spooky how similar the bikes look!

nicely. we betta get practising!

pimping, jack.

think we'd get about one set of rollers in there!

think the albert's better, size-wise...

i date the vintage of the photo to between mid-jan and about april...
