brighton night ride?

London to Brighton in the dark is the FUTURE!!

Actually, there was one just on Friday, organised by the good folks over at CTC Cheam and Morden via ACF:

No way, I mean most people could probably have sprinted large sections of that, but larking about was the fun for me.

I'd love to see 100+ attempting something like Brighton as a pack, that'd be wild.

is stupid, some big fuck-off hills!!

I found it surprisingly manageable, although I rode geared and during the daytime, along the route of the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run two weeks ago:

Only two major uphills and two fast downhills really, and you can always avoid Ditchling Beacon by doing Clayton Hill. This route was mainly fast A roads.

a Brighton ride day or night would be amazing. Think seriously about this Idea. I'll be the first to sign up!

Definitely! Set off during the day walk around Brighton for a bit then head back after dark, this would be a fantastic ride.

+1. The only danger is the more into the countryside you get the more acceptable it is to drive a tracker pissed out of our mind. That said it would be wicked. Quite a few people know the route by now and I recon it would be possible to leave in time to catch the sunrise, and early trains home if the weather stops beach frolics.
Anyone fancy it early Dec?Maybe start a poll for a date?

And start a list for who's keen? I certainly am.
