England : East Sussex Lewes to Bexhill ride Sunday 23rd Sept

[rich p]

Jenny, I can't make the reccie sadly, this Sunday. I'd be available if you want to do it midweek though.

 

[rich p]

Thanks Rich, can I let you know? Depends on other people, and the weather on Sunday too.

Yup, no probs.

Hmm....no way I can make this ride via rail, due to the insistence of train operating companies that no-one wants to travel early on a Sunday morning (earliest train into Lewes for me 10.24). 55 mile ride in the morning? I'll think about it...

This attracts.
In droves.
I'll need to investigate the rail connexions.

I should be coming to this one but only if the weather is good as I dont have any wet weather gear... .

I have sent you a PM for the details

Plenty of time to buy some then

If the train doesn't work out, you're welcome to join the ride down obviously

I won't know if I can come out to play until tomorrow.

It's all going Pete Tong. Got to house sit the Aged P in Wales that week in September so not only have I missed the recce I can't do the real thing.

 

[GrumpyGregry]

Sorry to hear that Greg - another time I hope

So do I. Big sis just changed the dates of her holiday on me. Sorry.

 

[GrumpyGregry]

My Big Sis used to do terrible things to me too when I was little.

In my case the do-or of terrible things unto me was my middle sister. Who is bonkers and has a certificate to prove it. Not in the least surprised she now lives in Whitehawk.

As a result I find it difficult to completely relax in London-on-sea. I spend all my time looking over my shoulder in case she creeps up on me and carries on where she left off in the 70's.

 

[GrumpyGregry]

I was mean to my little brother too - it's what big sisters do, because we can

Were you the apple of your father's eye. You get leverage for that iirc.

Sorry to be late to the party but I'm very interested if TMN can sort the weather. A good option for Sarf Londoners might be to get the cheap (£5) 7.52 Southern train from East Croydon arriving 8.35 in Burgess Hill and cycle across to Lewes from there. About how long would that take?

aha.. Cheers Stuart... that's a good option for me.

So OK for a 9.30/10am start? Makes it an 80/85 mile return day ride which (with AFAIR some extra very pretty countryside) would be nice long run ...
