Coming on the ride but not going on to France

And another one here.

And another one here.

Doubtless carrying that Bourbon again, which was shaken, stirred, warmed, circulated within but not tasted, last weekend. (Or did you and 3fingerJoe account for the lot, without the plebs getting a taste?





Only teasing...

I'm sorted out now. Will cycle on to Evreux for overnight stop, then 300 to my parent's place. Have chosen a route with minimum distractions. That will make for a fun blog post!

+1
and looking forward to an impromptu friday off into the bargain

and here - it's beers in Brighton for me!

With breakfast, I hope.

I've taken Friday off work specifically cos someone on here said brekkie and beer is best in Brighton rather than Newhaven


(That may be a lie)

It's early days but good to note that the forecast for Thursday (XC) is dry with a tailwind.

 

[Aperitif]

In the unlikely event that the tide and sea-state are similar on Friday morning, we might wish to re-think the undercliff path option.

Nice photo Adrian - reminds me of my youth, some twenty years 'or so' ago, hiding near walls while waves crashed overhead. Isn't it a nicer approach when 'on high' though - all those lovely houses built into the slopes. The cyclepath/road is a bit uppy-downy though.

I seem to be missing from the list Simon. I'm only coming as far as Newhaven though, then adjourning to Brighton.

Thanks
Ross

looks like we're going to be too numerous for chez Hall..........so it's Gatwick!

at the risk of tempting fate.......have any of you looked at the weather forecast? It seems too good to be true!

That's a shame, but 32 would be a bit of a squeeze. But what about the gun toting rozzers at the South Terminal?

It'll change, don't worry.

I reckon we can take the Gatwick goons on. It's a shame Amanda Whatserface is likely to be at home in bed, or we could request an audience...
