2011-05-08 - London to Brighton - Fixed Gear Ride

Hah, I forgot to mention that only flattering photos are allowed! Or ones where I look suitably sweaty and exhausted from cycling soooo far because I'm sooooo hardcore.

If you had looked closely while you had the chance it's actually a sum41 tee. I couldn't resist their new logo. So 'designed'.

ah come on Scoot, you looked great but we all have those photos! Part and package of being a cyclist...

Yeah I saw, god I bought Sum 41's first album. I know all the words. Dear me.

At the top of Ditchling- Stonehedge, the right way up .
Really enjoyable ride. Thanks all. Some more pics to follow tonight.

Both thank you and fuck you :)

Scoot, didn't even realize you had taken all those pics at the top of Ditchling. Good work!

Love the photographs Jess! These are awesome. :)

i think we were all in a euphoric daze as a result of an heinous climb followed by an hice cream

yes - great work on the photos - my camera was guffed on the day so it's ace to have a record. merci beaucoup!

Glad you lot all had an amazing time. Want to come on one as soon as I get my new wheel builds done. 15-46 and a broken BB doesn't bode well for hills.

Would be great to put fake names to faces to real names to fake names.

some photos for your viewing pleasure.

Cheers S. I went totally ape in the crazy photo.

When did I rep you?!

Oooo BURN!

Cool photos, I liked the ones where you were riding to Brighton.

Oooo BURN!

Still not sure who said MG had repped me...!

LFGSS wouldn't let me rep you as I had before?!

Oh Crispin.... le sigh.

Wah?

Velocio had to put measures in place to prevent the forum crashing under the load of the rep I was gathering...

We really had superb weather, and although there was a light headwind it saved us from sweltering.

Britain is almost unbelievably green and soft at this time of year. Skive, I enjoyed the fact our appreciation of some fine views and ancient trees co-incided along the route. Slugwash Lane was particularly lovely.

I've finally seen the infamous Ditchling! Sort of.

Yes Dan, that is definitely it....

I told my flatmate about the ride and said we should join one in the future. He said "bet they didn't go up Ditchling" and I was happy to prove him wrong with all the photographic evidence above.

Take that non-believer.

Still, I won't get up it.

Dropout thanks for the pics - great shots in there.

And nice to see you on my way home tonight! Now I see how you've developed such an appreciation for West LDN - Elgin Crescent is maybe the prettiest road on my commute

Just in case you haven't seen it yet. :]

Finally got round to inspecting the contents of my camera! Barely took any photos but the few that I did can be viewed here.

that's stonehedge's bike mr schick

you can tell because it's in its natural state of not being upright.

I like this. Dan - did you fuck up?
