^^ if you can still judge time and distance by Sudbury you didn't drink enough in Essex and are taking it too seriously.

If you can't time your approach to those lights so that you hit them when they're green, you should give up riding a bike there and then.

What is it you've got against the colour-blind? Really, such disablist attitudes have no place on this forum.

Oh, and in, on a bicycle, with at least one braking mechanism and a drivetrain with a minimum of 1 gear ratio, possibly carrying a towel too.

I found the drag up to the beach highly unpleasant last year but
a) I was incredibly tired (it's probably actually downhill, although the headwind didn't help)
b) I couldn't see any other riders ahead or behind me
c) I thought I had another 10 miles to go, due to thinking it was 123 miles total

The bumps before that though were quite amusing for the collective groans as they came into view.

What is it you've got against the colour-blind? Really, such disablist attitudes have no place on this forum.

(1) Firstly, one does not say 'the colour(-)blind', but 'colour(-)blind people'. That's political correctness for you right there.

(2) Colour(-)blind people will be able to take note of the different positions of the respective signals on the signal head. As a rule, they generally don't have much of a problem with the operation of automatic traffic signals.

Objection defeated, who's next?

piff paff

Oh, and in, on a bicycle, with at least one braking mechanism and a drivetrain with a minimum of 1 gear ratio, possibly carrying a towel too.

triathletes >>>>>>>>>>>>>

If you want my opinion (which I know that you do), this whole escapade seems very silly. I'm in.

Do any of the refreshment establishments that frequent the route serve a decent Gummi Roy or is it advised by the stalwarts of the night to pack your own hip flask and haribo?

Oliver, just because it's on the internet you shouldn't be dropping your standards. Can we please use the term 'people of low spectral definition capabilities'.

yep. just in case they underestimate demand at all the Gummi Roy kiosks.

You do realise that there should be a question mark at the end of that sentence? :)

How many bags of Percy Pigs should I be bringing?

You do not use Percy Pigs to make a Gummy Roy, that would be wrong. Even a child knows this, or at least should, unless they have been the victim of poor parenting.

My first time last year, had loads of doubts before hand having never done more than 20 miles in one hit previously
Fixed is not a problem in fact I think it helped me getting up those seemingly big bumps towards the end (thinking back the bumps were a blessing needing to get my unbearably chaffed behind out the saddle).
Small amount of snackage, chewy fruity sweets (percy's are ideal), and liquids of course. A couple of spare tubes and a mini pump did the job fine!
This year in addition will get myself some decent padded shorts bring a tube of Vaseline or k-y jelly, maybe some durex play depending on what's lying around my bedroom at the time.
Looking forward to this, Great memories from last year

Not sure if Vaseline will assist much. Sudocrem is the ointment of choice for many long distance riders, though whether they generally have it lying around their bedrooms I dunno.

Fancy chamois creams are largely made of shea butter in some cases so I guess you can just use that.

Or maybe real butter for that 'last tango in Dunwich' effect

haha.

This mother superior and her little nuns were out bike riding.
At the first speed bump all the little nuns start to giggle,
and peddle a little harder. At the second they giggle harder
and peddle harder. At the third they start to groan and
peddle harder. At the fourth with much groaning, moaning
and sweating as well and some very hard peddling. The mother
superior turns around and says "stop all that or you'll have
to put the seats back on!!!"

grammar racist. also you've got no nose :-]

@middleofnowhere
Trowel for 'cat-lat' style poo stops? Or maybe for turfing a fireplace for a midway stop somewhere idyllic?

My old LBS is offering a bike pick up service after events. Could be really handy for the DD?
Very decent chap, comes recommended.

Do the LFGSS crew try and ride the whole way together or is this more of a who to look out for list?

In, wanted to do this last year and flaked
