Thanks to everyone at LFGSS and especially Jaitch and Katie for being so generous with their time.
Had an amazing ride overall, though I really struggled with sleep deprivation at times.
Highlights included high-fiving drunk teenagers, wayfinding by chap-nav, a billion twinkling red lights, a sea of high vis (including mine - sorry!) and the sunny beach at the end.
The only lowlight was the thoughtless twerp who stopped suddenly to collect a dropped light and nearly caused a serious pile-up. Luckily I stopped daydreaming just in time to apply my brakes.
Looking forward to seeing you all next year and hopefully joining another forum ride before then.
I've yelled all kinds of shit at oblivious pedestrians and got many startled responses. I'm amazed by how many people wander into roads while listening to their iMusics
Brighton is full of people who like to stand in the road. And they like to look shocked and surprised when I scream at them to wake them from their death-inducing stupor.
I saw an old ginger who had really long dreads and a massive bald patch. He curled his dreads up and draped them over his head to cover up the baldness. So in one repugnant example of mankind he managed to combine gingeritis, a combover and dreadlocks-on-a-middle-aged-white-man-in-a-suit.
