Sorry Mart, can't make it this year. I am pre-booked and taking part in a cycle ride from Tewksbury to Taunton that day. (103miles). Am sure you will all have a great day but make sure you have a nice big ice-cream for me. :-D

Won't be able to make it. On that day I'll be riding from Limoges in France to Zaragosa in Spain on my way to a villa about 20 miles from Marbella.

Please keep me as a possible. I am expecting to host friends that weekend, but waiting to hear from them. If I can make, it may well be my last ride as I'm waiting to hear on a visa application to Australia, hence why my bike is for sale :(

Martin.. any ideas where you plan to meet Kenties on route?

Assuming that you still want to ride into Brighton as a group...

yes, at the roundabout theres a total garage and mcd's there too, theres a biggish car park where the trucks normally park so will meet in there

yes, can meet before brighton but dont really know the area or anywhere safe to park, we will head through the A27 tunnel and then head to the A23 south (i think)

this place has been suggested Shell Station BN1 6SA

Southwick Hill Tunnel is a 490 metre twin-bore road tunnel

Is this the one? Sounds as if it could get loud!

Although I approve of the choice of fuel :thumbsup: it's not the best service station to park a number of bikes. It can also be a b1tch getting out back onto the road into B'ton.

There is a BP practically under where the A27 goes over the A23 which might be a better place to park up, as there is a larger parking area:

BP Pace Brighton, Mill Road, Patcham, BRIGHTON, BN1 8ZF. (01273 542721)
http://www.bp.com/retail/iframe.do?categoryId=9036626&contentId=7067802&stationid=175

Alternatively, depending on which way the Kenties are heading into B'ton, there is another BP approx 3miles north of the A27/A23 junction, which has plenty of parking, and is also has a Wild Bean Café - which could be preferable if one group gets there in advance of the other...:

BP Pyecombe SF Connect, London Road, Pyecombe, BRIGHTON, BN45 7FJ. (01273 847880)

Got back about 20mins ago, good little rideout, great to see some of the Hampsters and Kenties (sounds rude).

Apart from a couple of downpours en-route it was superb weather. Warm rain!! Its just not right!!

Nice to see everyone! Cheers to our fearless leader (Alan) for getting us there and back, and pointing me in the direction of Olympic mania. Got to Blackwall really quick and then spent about 30 mins in crap traffic sweating like a scouser in dixons.

Anyway, heres a little shapshot of our infamous sparkly one glittering in the Brighton sunshine...

I visited Kent today as well to see a Kentie or two. What a cracking day down there, weather wise. Glad to see all had a good day at Brighton.

If you want a laugh... ask Oz if he enjoyed his fish & chips on the beach :chuckle:

Great run to Brighton for fish chips beer and ice cream (well most of us) with great weather.
we had a good run back to Appledore along the coast stopping in Hastings and rye on route.

A great day and no rain (for a change). Really nice to see everyone, shame about the 'seagull diet' though Andy.

I am not sure the seagulls were on a diet Chris :eyepopping:
