Hey im looking to take on the King of the Downs sportive in June as prep for the Pyrenees but am a bit confused with the logistics. Its a sunday ride and need to be in Gatwick by 6. Checked the Gatwick Express for that day (June 1st) and there are some planned engineering works on the line so could be delays. In addition when speaking to the customer services they advised allowing a bike on the train is at the discretion of the train guards so no guarantee I would get on anyway from Victoria.
My question I guess is
Has anyone done it before and travelled from London minus a car? How did you do it?
Is anyone doing it this year and perhaps driving down and wouldnt mind a +1? Obviously costs of petrol etc would be reimbursed.
Is this a possibility?
