I'm thinking of ridng to Brighton this saturday. The reason it's possibly solo and why I've never done one of the forum rides is that it will be the longest distance I've ever ridden in one go (give or take rest stops) and I've honestly no idea how I'll fair. I know everyone says it doesn't matter, the Brighton rides are slow and anyone can do it but it's still untested waters for me. Hence the test excursion, to give me a benchmark for future long group rides.
Anyway, it's also Solo(?) as anyone is welcome to join me providing they understand I may bonk/tap/get lost/go very slow/walk up ditchling and all other manner of scenarios that wouldn't go down well on the larger organised rides.
