2010-10-09 - London to Brighton

Pisti will love the signage on Ditchling Beacon.

Pointing in the wrong direction, but you get the idea.

Is this the football thread?

you'll be telling your grandkids about this one...

"I remember a shit ride to Brighton in about 2010. They refused to stop. I wee'd myself then, just as I'm doing right this very moment. Could you fetch some clean pants from granddad's drawer, there's a good lad."

I've got one of those legendary Team SaxoBank handlebar mounted BBQs. Bring some sausages and a fork.

on a forum ride some time ago Cheesecake intl DID ride a BBQ bike up to Ditchling fo real

Only 1 way to solve this... BBQ-off!

You can fuck off if you think I'm riding the BBQ tank from Brixton....

The BBQ bike is legendary.

After a little arm twisting I'll be along too.

i rode nearly 100 miles to bath the day after the guinness ride having consumed about 8 or 9 pints of the good stuff...

make sure you drink plenty of water and have a good breakfast with nice steaming cup of htfu, and you will be fine.
