L2B(2L) - Saturday April 25th
Discussion
This isn't the mass-participation event. I'm simply planning to ride the route as part of my training for PH TdF 1-3. It's 55 miles (~90km) from Clapham Common to Madeira Drive in Brighton. Fish & chips for lunch and then the train back to London. Or for those aiming for the TdF weekender, it may be more appropriate to pedal back to London. The round trip (from London Bridge, anyway) comes in at 200km|2,700m which is identical to Stage 1 Leeds-Harrogate.
It's a classic route with only one major climb (Ditchling Beacon) and will make a great PH ride, without the traffic jams of the official L2B.

I fancy having a go at this, though I am interested in what sort of pace would be ridden. I know I am not as quick as gruffy. I was chatting to a guy here who rode it a few years ago when I lent him my old Bianchi and he said that hill was a bd.

We'll quite naturally break into smaller groups I'd expect. Some may want to aim for 30km/h and others are happy at 23km/h. I suspect we'll have a big enough group that you'll always find somebody of a similar pace to ride with. And of course we'll all regroup for fish and chips and cake and coffee in Brighton.
Enjoy the ride, guys. If I could make it I'd come too.
