Long Ride: Brighton FGSS to Portsmouth

what's the appeal of portsmouth? it's not the prettiest ride tbh...

i have a 19t you could borrow.

interesting time to make that comment andy, you've had a month since the destination was chosen but decide to say something the day before the ride

yeah, great timing huh... tomorrow will be a nice day for a ride, you'll have fun for sure. btw - have you guys checked the sustrans website? quite a bit of the route is covered by their bikelanes...

we'll have to take you all on some prettier countryside rides soon :)

i'll be up early going out riding... let me know your address and i can drop it off if you're reasonably central?

Just got back in from this.

was a pretty good ride. Seb, Tim and myself waited around til after 9-30 hoping some others would turn up.. but no one did.

The route into Portsmouth was extremely busy, so in the end we decided to head down to South Hayling looking out over Portsmouth to the west.

Made some pretty good time so rather than getting the train back, we ate some lunch from the co-op and headed back.

Just outside of Bognor, i managed to lose the others, i did wait around for them for a little while.

Did exactly 100 miles in the end. Averaging 17mph. Have some crazy one sided sun burn.

Oh.. and we all ended up wearing lycra.

Sorry, I tried to fix the wheel but couldn't an ended up drowning my sorrows on the beach last night. I've now got harvey's orange wheel, ready for polo on Thursday.
Mind you I think I would never have been able to to a 100 miles! Not on this bike anyway.

I like your wording here.

We all ended up returning solo, the lad who I care for was calling me so I had to rush back too!
