London to Brighton..... 56 miles of gruelling non-stop road riding.
Ok. Ok. 18 miles riding and then a stop for a burger.
Here are the burger boys Stevo and Eric.
Another 18 miles and then stop for a cake.Another 12 miles and then stop for an ice cream.
Then cruise down into Brighton and take the applause from the crowds of people at the finish.
Yes. We is athletes ya know.
A 6am start meant that we could get a move on and not get baulked by the majority of the other 27 thousand riders.
The weather held up nicely with no rain and fairly cool light winds.
All of the group rode up Ditchling Beacon without as much as a moan or groan.
The hard part of the climb was getting past the mass of walking "riders" as they spread out and staggered all over the road.
Third highest point in the South of England.
Once into Brighton we quickly got changed and straight down the pub for lunch and a few beers.
The sun came out and once fed and watered we were straight onto the beach for two hours of synchronised sleeping.
(the body count grew throughout the day)
