Default The Brighton ride

2010 was a landmark year!

After two years of disappointment (blame the odd weather!), let's hope for a good ride in the usual numbers. This year's organiser is expecting around a thousand participants (How many of them would be riding? Noone knows for sure). Just checked the FB page and here are the numbers:
Going: 293, Maybe: 94 and lo and behold, Invited: 978

What does it mean? Nothing... social media plays a silly role nowadays. Frankly, who would really announce to the world they'd be going for sure? Many have even signed up six months ago! Casual riders (mostly men) would definitely be around, but what of the first-timers?

Well let's brace ourselves for a bunch of Asian tourists heading for Southern Britain in droves! They simply don't see folks dangling their bits on the streets everyday
