Last Night Ride to Brighton 2008

Hey folks, I'm going to be in London from NYC the weekend of the 13th and will be riding down to Brighton that Sat

Hello John,

I notice no-one's replied yet, have you been able to start your own thread in the meantime? No problem with posting in this thread, BTW.

The bikely route looks great. A couple of quick questions:

1. Is there a cue sheet with the whole route together? I found one for the second half of the ride, but couldn't find the first part.
   
   
   

No, I don't think there is one. I suppose it's probably because people know London, and quite frankly in London a route sheet isn't that much use!

1. Can you recommend a decent map of the area? With more than just motorways & A roads listed?
   
   

The standard map format in the UK is Ordnance Survey mapping. You probably want some Landrangers:

Two or three will cover London to Brighton. Good and detailed.

Visit Stanford's in Long Acre in Covent Garden when you get to London to buy maps.

Happy riding,
Oliver.
