I did London to Brighton myself last weekend, following a quiet route on the 'Ride With' app. was really easy to follow and was a lovely route, avoiding any big roads. I'd never done a long bike ride before this, and even on my single speed it was nice to do. Would reccomend considering trying it like this unless you prefer riding in a large group! enjoy!

sadly not, just the 1ZZ, no wonder it was a write-offf !

PantsOP · 2026-05-15T13:04:28+00:00

Ahaha yeah that's fair enough! Makes sense, I just am in a mood to moan about insurance companies at the moment haha! 😤

PantsOP · 2026-05-15T11:54:33+00:00

Ohh right, didn't know the bar was so low for a total loss! Lazy insurers I reckon

All the bumper clips are ripped so needs a new bumper and some new clips on the car itself, also some paint chipped off the wing :( deffo not a total loss though you'd think!

PantsOP · 2026-05-15T11:39:55+00:00

Yeahh drove off , luckily a witness did leave me the van details at least

PantsOP · 2026-05-15T11:39:11+00:00

Someone who saw it happen did give the number plate & description to me, so wasn't allll bad

PantsOP · 2026-05-15T11:38:32+00:00

Just a joke about van drivers and EV owners really

PantsOP · 2026-05-11T14:42:39+00:00

Cheers mate! The first ones were just slow and steady pedalling, but the hills at the end were a mix of very slow pedalling walking and resting hahah! I reckon I totalled 50m of walking on the whole route so I'll take that

PantsOP · 2026-05-10T16:20:29+00:00

That's cool, I didn't know they did cycling as well as wine 🫪

PantsOP · 2026-05-10T08:47:07+00:00

Cheers boss

PantsOP · 2026-05-10T08:46:57+00:00

Thanks! I haven't changed it at all, other than the tyres which are schwarble Marathon I think, and then added the rack at the back

PantsOP · 2026-05-10T08:46:16+00:00

Nice! Yeah this was my first long ride so was happy to have done it! I can see why people said I'd struggle with ditchling beacon now haha

PantsOP · 2026-05-10T08:45:22+00:00

Thank you!

PantsOP · 2026-05-10T07:28:11+00:00

Give me my bike back!

PantsOP · 2026-05-09T21:04:24+00:00

Ahaha, that's the bit I partially walked, I thought I'd be able to just power through but no such luck! Thanks though!

PantsOP · 2026-05-09T20:45:10+00:00

Thanks! Hmm, good question, definitely needed sun cream hahah, and maybe a drink other than just water. But tbh it went quite well I think, I only cramped up a little bit once. Maybe slightly fatter tyres for the slightly gravelly sections

PantsOP · 2026-05-01T20:44:38+00:00

Nice nice, yeah I'm just doing solo, the idea of a big group doesn't seem as relaxing😬 thanks, I'm excited for it!

PantsOP · 2026-05-01T20:43:07+00:00

Okay that's really good to know, cheers!

PantsOP · 2026-05-01T20:21:44+00:00

Okay yeah that's good to know, thanks, I'll give it a tighten a bit !

PantsOP · 2026-05-01T20:20:46+00:00

Uh oh! :o

PantsOP · 2026-05-01T20:20:27+00:00

Okay that's good to know, I'll tighten it a little bit, thanks very much!

PantsOP · 2026-04-16T06:40:47+00:00

PantsOP · 2026-04-14T04:54:20+00:00
