UK Meet Ride Report - 04 Oct
I'll start it off, but I fully expect everyone else to add their perspectives and pics!
The final group was: -
So the plan was that we were all supposed to meet at the Ace Cafe in London at 11am, have a quick bacon sarnie and a cup of coffee and then take some back roads down South to Brighton and have a fish and chips on the boardwalk watching the ocean. Simple.
I won't mention any names to protect the innocent but some people didn't ruck up until after 12 and the only person in the group (who shall remain nameless for the moment) who had the route we were supposed to ride, decided not to show because it was raining when they went to leave the house. So we had to try and work out an alternate route on our own. Now, I'm not sure if anyone else has ever tried to coordinate a route from point A to point B with a group of 10 men (where no one is in control or has seniority) but let's just say I wouldn't recommend it. It's like trying to herd cats.
Anyway, I think we finally managed to agree to leave the cafe around 12:30. The loose plan was to cut through London and then take the A23 down to Brighton.
When we go to Ace Cafe in the morning the sun was out and it looked like it was going to be a good day out. No, really. It was. The sun was out. Look at the pics below and you'll see.
- HOWEVER -
By the time we left it was cloudy, windy and beginning to rain.
