I’m organizing a ride to Beachy Head (between Brighton and Eastbourne), so I can finally show the lucky ones how brilliant the roads are around that area.
The list so far [13 people, 12 bikes]:
Simonrides
Alex Gold
Vukman
Jetstream & Julie
CharlyBR600-RR
TOMO
Reddragon
CBRider
Major
SteveCBR11xx
Gabe & Pillion
Suzukisi possibly joining on the way South
Plan is to have a nice breakfast at Ace around 9ish and then cross London.
L platers might find the pace to be a bit too fast and as I’m not expecting a huge group, we’re not going to use the cornerman system (not that it would work anyways :P)! But if you feel like coming, you are more than welcome, as I’m sure we can manage to stay in one group!
This is a whole day’s riding with the mileage just over 210. We will stop for petrol and a NICE lunch at the seaside (and by NICE I mean NOT chips :D).
As an offer, I would like to have an unusual activity on this ride
I’m thinking about stopping around Beachy Head (as the scenery is beautiful) in a tight corner, and to take a picture of everyone while being in a tight corner leaning the bike. It shouldn’t take an awful lot of time and I’m definitely sure, everyone wants a pic of themselves on the bike in a corner. Or is it just me?! :w00t:
Will this be at a sedate pace? Will Julie be at peace with the road or a little scared? We are quite elderly but like riding with young folk as long as we don`t get in the way. Eastbourne is so divine.
Jetstream is being far too modest but I suspect this wont be a balls out seat of the pants blast as all unsundry are welcome. Buckets and spades are optional:D
