Hi Simon, I am in Brighton, if you fancy planning a Bivi sometime around the South Downs way or theabouts ?

Hi all,

Afraid to say that I won't make it , the weather forecast and my own worries about the suitability of my kit have been playing on my mind, plus driving through a snow storm today wasn't fun ... so , have a great time everyone, it's probably going to be balmy after all :)

Hi there can I ask what make/ model the dry bag pictured under the handlebars is ? It looks the kind of length I've been looking for. Cheers :)

Many thanks :)

Could I have the montane fireball jacket if it's still available ?

In the end I spent the night 'bivying' in the bathroom with a make shift bed next to the toilet a la winter vomiting bug :) probably best that I didn't go out that night after all :) Mat - and others let's try again sometime .. I have fairly infrequent passes but when I do I'll let people know on he...

South Coast winter Bivi cancelled then, was planning to get out myself tonight but Noro virus (vomiting children) has intervened !

Chess , Charliecres , Mat-swan - just checking if you are still interested ?

Will :)

Pub - has a fire and food till 9

Can't work out how to add more than one photo per reply !

Hi all I've just recovered from a demon cold and went out for a recce ride yesterday and found a nice manageable route along the SDW from Brighton to Alfriston, a pub, and briefly scouted out bivy spots and emergency refuge spots in case of Armageddon weather. Here are some shots from the ride yeste...

Hummerlicious - sorry you won't be able to make it , not sure I can wangle being out that close to Christmas and so soon after this but if you are planning other trips or nights out let me know :)

Hi Chess, great to hear you are local and interested... The important thing from my point of view is a sleep system and shelter that you know wil work for you in the conditions. We will find somewhere that does its best to limit the worst excesses of cold - e.g. Forest , cover from wind etc but ther...

I would love to give this a go either as a group start or ITT, i live in Brighton so it looks as though that coincides with the start at Stanmer. Well done for all the work so far on the route. As a mini thread hijack some of you might be based near to me so does anyone here want to join me on the f...

Hi Kameltrek ! Fantastic to see someone is interested. The route shouldn't take us too far, this is meant to be more of a social ride than anything and a excuse to get out... My very rough estimation is less than 50 miles round trip. I've done Brighton to Eastbourne in around 3.5 hours on the South ...

That sounds a interesting plan Mariner but I think it's one for another time perhaps ?
