Welcome to the forum Gary and good luck with the weight loss programme.

I saw that you're targeting the London-Brighton which is a lot of fun but rather crowded, and can involve lots of walking and waiting

Another option might be to join one of the Friday Night Rides to Brighton. Have a look in the informal rides forum, there are several a year so you can pick your target, plus with ~100 riders versus the thousands on the official ride, they're a lot more friendly. Plus of course they go at night which frankly makes them so much more fun.

This is his blog about his weight loss..

Vaseline /cream is used by soem people to stop chaffing on the nether regions , i do not use it myself as i find padded shorts enough.

Thanks Cyber
