    Stupidly booked a holiday during the ride. I have signed up for Wiggle Super Series French Revolution in August instead. Better roads, less crowds, finish on my own doorstep!

    Is it true that Southern trains don't allow bikes on the trains on this day due to too many?

    Yes, that is correct. And there is many a poor bugger who doesn't realise it until they get to Brighton and find they have no means of getting back to London except by cycling back again!

    I've signed up and can't wait. Looking forward to roads with few cars and a whole bunch of other riders zipping along.
