• OK, we have brilliant weather and apparently tomorrow is supposed to be even nicer. It looks as if we're as lucky as last time. Perhaps there's a chance we could see the sun rise from the top of Ditchling? Hm.

    All: Helmets are of course not mandatory. I won't wear one and so will many others. Technically, people are riding at their own risk on this ride, so wear what you feel comfortable with.

    And you definitely don't need to bring a lock unless you plan to travel on alone at any point when no-one else can watch your bike if you leave it somewhere. No liability is assumed by anyone else on the ride, but I've never heard of a bike going missing on a ride like this.

    Ah, I'm looking forward to this.

    Dropout and balmain, any news yet on whether you'll be able to make it down? Would be great to have you!
