    Route overview: Hayes - Botley Hill - Godstone - Crawley - Waringlid - Brighton.
    A superb rural route all the way down to Brighton, taking in Devils Dyke instead of Ditchling Beacon.*

    Or if somebody wants to do it and is more central based i'd be willing to get the train up to start from there...

    First time riding such a distance and am a bit weary of doing it alone first time round!

    I'm an unemployed bum at the minute, so can do it any day during the week or weekend really...let a homie know whatup

  • This route looks well. Are you going fixed? What's your average speed more or less?

  • it just turns out that i need to be in brighton that day anyway, so tempting....

    what speed u talkin tho? I'm not really fast u see, did the dunwich so relatively decent fitness.

    what time were you thinking of setting off? I would need be there for 1pm ideally

  • whats the latest with this ride, I'd be interested in riding this route fixed. I have done the ride before with gears, but ended up following a busy A road most of the way. If there are people riding a nicer route, and going at a reasonable pace then I'll join.

  • Not fixed...single speeding it...

    Not sure on how to print out the map properly either..pc illiterate..

    I was thinking of heading of tomorrow...say meet outside Big Foot Bikes in Hayes at 8ish?

    Or i could hold it off til Thursday/Friday...

    I'm not sure what my average speed is...been riding 12/15 miles daily for the past 4/5 months so of a reasonable level of fitness..

    I know the view from the top of Devils Dyke is amazing

  • ah... sat is the only day that works for me!

  • I just saw the weather forecast here: http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/uk_forecast_weather.html

    Raining in London and Brighton Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Seems like the best day of going there is Wednesday.

    I wanted to go Thursday, but if it will be raining, I am giving up.

  • Man....wanted to go! I am prob riding to Bromley tomorrow.

  • I used this route which is in the first post today and I truly recommend it. Nice and easy, quiet and practically flat :)

    I know that you are going to Brighton Saturday, but if anyone wants to go once again in two or three weeks time (Thursday), I would happily go together with. I am planning to leave London around 7-8 am aiming for 5 hours ride, have a lunch in any veggie/vegan restaurant in Brighton, shop for some piercing stuff, go to the beach, have a beer or two and catch a train back to London. Anyone?

    Anyway, first train back to London which you aloud to travel with bike is 7.19 pm. or before 4pm as I remember.
