Can quiet often be warm in late April.
Saying that, it'll probably piss down.

Small chips and mushy peas is totes doable mid ride.
But it ain't worth the crap descent into Brighton and the beach.

I remember doing my first ‘long’ ride to Cambridge and taking 2 multipacks of Snickers and 6 x 500ml of lucazade plus D-lock in a bagaboo after being scared of this fabled and rude sounding ‘bonk’ I’d just heard of.
Took fucking ages. -

Were you going to d-lock The Bonk in the face or something?

Yes! I did Bexleyheath to Petersfield (65 miles) in cargo shorts and t-shirt with a backpack full of provisions. I rode into London and went straight down the A3. It was horrific, but I caught the bug that day.

I did a reliability trial with Twickenham CC about 10 years ago that included a long section on the A3. In the rain too, it was beyond grim.

It was the route the club had used for donkey years. Went down the A30 for a fair bit too. I only rode it once.

Did discover anger eating this year.
I rode to Whitby during the F500 and had fish and chips there. They were delicious but it was freezing and my back hurt from shivering.
Sitting on the grass is a seasonal activity.
