Sat 5th April - London to Brighton 2 (Curse-free)

Can you sort me out a return route though?

If you're navigationally-challenged, in a hurry, don't want to add unnecessary miles, (and preferably in a group of 3 or so), bomb it back up the A23, team time-trial style.

A bit grim, so you'll be motivated to get it over with post haste.

I ended up "bombing" (grovelling) along the A22.. fucksake!
I saw Caterham, remembered the DEStruction incident and jumped on the train. Beaut!

They need to teach 'search' in schools :P

Yeah, sorry about that. Anyway, found a bikely thing + the text directions you posted. Cheers!

Was really good to meet you peeps and do some rad riding and see how to ride a fixed properly. I hope to put some pics up and if I am still alive in the morning I will take my fixed out to Speakers Corner for Sheldon tomorrow.
Cornelius you crack me up!!
My first proper ride in UK and covered 75 miles with a great bunch.
Jonny thanks for the beer.
Stu.

I Had such a great time.
Had to cycle back from Victoria and by the time I got to Golders Green I seemed to hit some sort of wall. I was unable to go any further until I had a mars bar and some lucozade. It was also raining kind of freezing hailstones on me at that point too.

Eighty miles in all and 4 pints. I have a feeling I will be a little sore tomorrow.

Great to meet you all

Yeah brett.. you know that route works when even hippy makes it to Brighton!

Can you sort me out a return route though? :)

On the way back I ended up here, Ashurst Wood. Not only that, I was heading away from London?!?! How the truck does that happen?!?!?!

You were subconsciously coming to see me :0)

PS Please make the next one a Sunday. The missus works Sats so I have to look after the boy. Not a bad thing at all, but it does kinda rule me out of L2B rides!

Bugger off Sammy Davis Jnr.. I've got other rides book for Sundays. Just strap the kidlet to your bike :)

(I was coming to see your orangeness..)

My phlegm matches Sam's frame.

At least it's not pearlescent white. Then I'd be really worried...

Great ride, lovely route, and we really lucked out with the weather. Looking forward to the next one!

Caution - non cycling related stuff to follow:

If you host it on Youtube - sticking &fmt=18 on the end of the address ups the quality (at the expense of slower connections). - I tried this on the above video and there was no perceivable improvement, so I think you may have compressed it quite heavily before you uploaded it (?). But it does work for most Youtube stuff.

Anyhow, why don't you upload it to Vimeo, much much better quality video and audio and great user interface.

Check out the quality baby:

slam where do you mount your cam? its well steady.

Yeah, he's pretty good at keeping it level, I like the parts where the camera rises a few feet above the cyclists, not sure how he does it though ?

helmet mount? he is one of them tall fuckers, they are not to be trusted.

hand-mount you mean?

what is this 'mounting' you speak of?
One hand on the bars, one hand holding the camera. :-P

Cheers for the tip tynan, will try Vimeo in a sec, and maybe also exporting on a slightly higher setting.
