LBL2 Slayed! London to Brighton and back again!

After last weekend's failure to complete this ride, four of us attempted it again. LBL2! We started earlier at 7:30am (ridiculously early) and resolved to keep the stops short.

And we did it! It took 14 hours, with 9.5 hours in the saddle- in spite of "shorter" stops, somewhere we lost 4.5 hours. All those little stops really add up. But to be honest, they were pretty much needed. Also there were a few incidents too. One crash, thanks to unfortunate lack of road markings. Fortunately not a lot of damage to humans or bike. One bee sting, those holes in the helmets can be an issue! One puncture, quickly fixed. 

The overall high score; 220 kms. I think I can say that is sufficient practice for the L2P! Next weekend will be a well deserved shorter ride, with the following weekend the actual L2P ride!
