This year myself and Sarah are looking to do the London to Brighton bike ride. Its the night time one. I really need to get in training, only been on the bike a couple of times in the last year. Their are a few choices of charitys to donate too. So I'm sure you will hear from both of us in the near future with sponser forms.

Combining the iconic London to Brighton route with the unique sensation of night cycling; a mass participation night cycle in aid of charity open to riders of mixed abilites and paces; the thrill of riding on deserted roads illuminated only by torchlight; accomplished cyclists aim to complete the course in under four hours, others take a more leisurely pace!
Setting off from Alexandra Palace you'll pedal through eerily quiet London streets, past some of the Capital?s most iconic landmarks before breaking out onto the open country roads of Surrey and Sussex. Pausing en-route for a hot-meal stop, riders aim to complete the 100km course just as the sun rises over Brighton seafront. Moonriders is the ultimate Capital to Coast charity night cycle and is already into it's second year - watch a video of the 2011 ride here...
