Re: 12 September 2010 Ace Café to Brighton run
Thanks for the nice comments about the photos. Funnily enough, I think the coolest ones involve water, not bikes: Harry contemplating the sea, the yacht in glittering water, the jetski. The thing about the bikes was the sheer number of them and that's hard to convey in a small rectangle - you just had to be there ... and if you weren't, there's always next year! Tales of the chaos and crazy riding I'd heard from people who'd been before didn't match reality at all --- the exodus from the Ace was quite orderly and the only incident I saw was very minor (caught on camera above). I'd certainly go again.
Sorry we didn't meet up with everyone when we got to Brighton - we were just arriving when I got a call from JJ, but my phone battery died before I could return it :( Next time though, I'd suggest re-grouping in the services before tackling the strenuous filtering in to Brighton ;D We bumped in to Carbonkid headed away from the pier as we were headed towards it, explored that for a while and had a drink at the bar at the end (great views but terrible service!), then a quick wander round town followed by an excellent cup of tea in the pretty park full of bikes before heading home about 17:00.

Re: 12 September 2010 Ace Café to Brighton run
Hi All
Yes a great day - Robin it was probably my own fault not to have met you - I was there about an hour befor I called you. I waited by the side of the road less than 2 miles from the Ace and waited til I spotted you - then rejoined the melee. That was the last I saw of you!! I joined up with some like minded nutters and had a merry little burn up!
We must have only just missed each other as I was on the pier watching that jet skier! My bike was parked 20 yds west of the pier.
Had a real 'mare getting home - rear tyre puncture!! Unrepairable so got new boots on the old girl today!!
Glad u all had fun - see you all soon [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

And I though I'd be easy to spot! Yeah, next time, we should have a couple of rendezvous points organised.

What event is that? Is it at Brighton again?

Indeed! Even the plan to meet at the Pier didn't help as it's 1/3 mile long!
