BBC currently saying light rainshowers in Ldn, no rain in Brighton. so you'll get more wet if you don't come on the ride!

Better reason than any to go.

Sorry if you've mentioned it, but swing by Preston Park and say hello to the polo massive at the tournament tomorrow.
Have a great ride, would love to join you but I'll be on 42gi tomorrow.

Sorry girls, I'm out, forgot about a massage I've got booked on Sunday, and we need to replace the dead plants in the window boxed. FFFFFUUUUUUUUU.

I'll give you a massage. Also, fuck the flowers. Problem solved.

Too many appearances of the words I'll, fuck, massage and you in that post for me.

Hey! Flowers was in there too. I thought people like flowers?

In.

Have had a chest infection for the last week and a half and fucked my knee and back. And it'd going to rain. But fuck all that, I'm IN. 11am Trafalgar Square right?

Hope I can keep up, bit unfit at the moment.

My new t-shirt arrived this morning. STOKED about wearing it tomorrow.

^completely unrelated.

No way. I've been planning my outfit for this ride for MONTHS.

hate to be the bearer of bad news but I just checked and there's engineering works between haywards heath and brighton tomorrow so bus replacement service is running instead of trains i.e. no bikes.

Saw this too. Combined with the lateish start and promising to be home to put little ones to bed means I'm out :-(

would appear only option would be to ride the 14.6 miles to haywards heath and hop on the train from there.

Its only about 15mi from Brighton to Haywards Heath on B roads I think. I'm too drunk to plan though (neighbours forced me to drink at gun point)...what do people think?

Doesn't sounds like an unbeatable problem to me...I think I'd be ok to ride back over the beacon/dyke to haywards...

Might even be tempted to ride all the way back.

Unemployed reporting in.

Has anybody got Skive's number? we need to reach an executive decision before people flounce left right and centre. This is not insurmountable...

I vote we sleep on the beach and go back monday morning when there's no engineering works

/best idea ever

Scoot...I love your style.

If we are doing there and back I might ride geared.

But don't worry, crotchless bib shorts will be worn regardless.
