2010-10-09 - London to Brighton

I only get nocturnal emissions on Ditchling. Apologies for the wheelspin issue for all you cunts behind me.

For ditchling I recommend a refuel at the bridlway before then go for it. Its so much easier with a liesurly break for a couple of hours prior in ditchling..with a proper cream tea two scones and one plain and one fruited.

I tried twice to do the run, in one hit but never managed to do it, but then I wasn't as strong as I am now. I love the bit in to brighton on that road it reminds me of quadraphenia.

Amazing weather for a ride, it was lovely both saturday and sunday, glad I took the bike and not the car makes it so much nicer.

What sort of GI were the completers running.

I can just about get up it in 3rd in my Corsa

Again

I was on 96, piss easy, what gear did you use in your Ford Transit, 1st, 2nd?

I just checked, the last couple of times I went up Ditchling were on 34/21, or a massive 43.7".

I would like to point out that this was during the London to Brighton BHF ride, when you cannot get a decent head of speed up.

That's my excuse and i am sticking to it.

I think my gearing up Ditchling is usually clicking down from 30/21 to about 30/25.

On a geary triple, no less. :)

I funking love that tea shop... a real pot of tea......and doilies.

On the friday night runs to the coast that is the usual stops, but then they can take 8 hours.

Sam was on 65", I was on 84", there were many in between.

Wow 84 how did you find turners hill on 84?

EDIT the steel fixed is on 77 and the road geared is 48 or 53 and I wouldn't like to try that on tired legs, chapeau to you.
