London to Brighton - Meet

[Headhunter]

Hi Sussex....

Fancy a ride a ride down to Brighton via the backroads on Saturday June 21st?

Will be meeting directly behind Metropolis Vauxhaul - http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=530367&y=178226&z=0&sv=se1+7tp&st=2&pc=se1+7tp&mapp=newmap.srf&searchp=newsearch.srf - on Goding Street at 11am.

Then bimble down to Reigate Hill for 12pm in case any of Surrey/Sussex/Kent would like to join us and then on to Brighton for fish & chips etc.

Fingers crossed for decent weather!

I'm up for this!

Any Sussexites around? Post up here if you're interested, and I'll work out some meet points for the ride to Reigate Hill to meet up with the rest.

Looking forward to ice cream on the pier...

I was wondering what route you would take after Reigate Hill.It maybe that me and scrapps could intersect further down.


I'm thinking of a parallel run to M23 on the B-roads:

Go from Reigate to Redhill
Hang a right at Nutfield
Then follow Coopers Hill Road and Prince of Wales Road to Copthorne (ish).
Then B2028 to Turners Hill
Short blatt on B2110
Hop on to B2036 to Burgess Hill
Then A273 and A23 to Brighton.

If any knows of a decent route, please feel free to shout as I'm open to suggestions.

Also am gonna do a dummy run this Saturday, if anyone fancies meeting at Reigate Hill around 10.30sh?

[alsduc]

yep could be up for this, wife permitting!

[Headhunter]

bump..........

[SazzaG]

Okey doke, meet at Bury Hill around 10 10.30ish? Probably leave around 11.00 for a leisurely pootle up to Reigate.

Alex - feel free to meet us at Bury (if your wife permits!), or maybe we'll see you down in Brighton later.

If anyone else wants picking up along the way, let me know. We'll probably be heading up the A29/24 to Dorking, then A25 round to Reigate.

[yantheman]

looks like it is going to be raining heavily on Sat... What should we do?

Sunday is possibly a much better day weather-wise, is moving the rideout to Sunday an option?

[Headhunter]

It looks like rain all weekend. However, they said it was going to rain today and it was sunshine all day.

Will post tomorrow night, Yan.

[yantheman]

Yes.. fingers crossed... cheers John

I cannot do Sunday but Saturday. Let's wait until tomorrow evening to see the forecast and Saturday morning to see what happens up in the sky.

[slob]

Ditto, busy Sunday.

Yep above best course of action...weather is too volatile! Such a great day today...I hope the monsoon stays away!

[Headhunter]

Okay, i've looked at the forecast (Met office) and it says light rain for London and drizzle with sunshine in Brighton for later in the day.

My experience of this has been - the weather's great - slight chance you hit some rain.

Unless it's bucketing it down the plan is to go ahead for Saturday. I will post again Saturday morning around 9sh.

Please PM me if you want my mobile #.
