London to Brighton 2011

#1 Post by mbellinger »

As you know, Ken and I put this together last year and it was a moderate success.

We have had a brief chat about ressurecting it for 2010, albeit subject to all the usual caveats about time, organisation, not clashing with other events, etc.

I have already begun to revisit aspects of the route, with a view to improving things, especially at the end. It might actually be London to Hove.....

Dates are always a problem, what with holidays, Bromley Pageant and other shows, Southern Dolly Day and TDCIR. If dates for these are firmed it would help Ken and I immensely.

So, nothing firm yet and no date yet, but just an attempt to gauge interest.

Any takers?
Martin.

...You've just reminded me I'm riding this for charity in June. Best get training really.

Anyway, I'd be up for this as long as I've got a working Triumph again...

Tempted to have a North London start from Ally Pally this year as the Ace was good, but we hit poopy traffic almost immediately (mind you that was due to a crash).

Great idea Martin! I very much enjoyed the outing last year...fish and chips at the end on Brighton seafront were good too!

If I am available I will make every effort to attend.

Don't see why not. The last one was a laugh and well attended by all types of Triumphs.

Give me a week or two to get my head back in gear and hopefully I can discuss a bit further.

As is so often the case, with pressure of time, other events, holidays, custody weekends, etc this failed to materialise in 2010.

I am sure that Ken and I will be ressurecting it in 2011 as I still have my old notes from last year about potential route enhancements. As for when, I might try and go for a date outside the traditional summer glut, either later or earlier as July to September always seems a write off. Ken and I will have a chat about this over the next couple of weeks. I would like to get the AGM out of the way first.
