london to brighton

Today I signed up to the London to Brighton Bike Ride.
I'm not sure it was the best idea, but I said I was going to do it so I really should give it a go.

I just hope it doesn't rain.

54 miles

Yesterday on my way to the shop I spied many cyclists doing the London to Brighton bike ride. None of them looked very happy, but that may have been because they were on Lewes Road.
Lewes Road doesn't make me very happy either.


Rosie, Yumi and I have decided we're going to do it next year.
And I'm going to smile all the way. Even when we're struggling over Ditchling Beacon.

nudity & nice tea

Today was the day of the naked bike ride.
I did a drawing from memory (as it felt rather wrong to sit & sketch the real event).
It was an interesting sight indeed - the highlights being a naked penny-farthing rider & a striptease from a unicyclist.
One man asked if I'd like to take a photograph of him to show my friends.
I declined.
I think my friends will thank me for it.
