As I mentioned earlier, the Battery Vehicle Society has invited us to a free lunch at Handcross plus the option of taking part in the final leg of their London-Brighton run. They suggested we start at the top of Ditchling Beacon and ride down the hill into Brighton with some of their vehicles.
Having talked this over with Martin and Scott, I've chosen to continue with the original plan of a C5 run along the coast on the cycle paths. Hopefully we can get as far as the marina, depends on the size and location of the motorcycle festival taking place. The BVS finish point is near to the marina, so we can always go along and meet them later in the afternoon.
We intend to start at around 1030ish by the lagoon, near the King Alfred Leisure Centre. However, if the weather is hot then we may have to relocate further along to the Shoreham end. As you'd expect, Brighton in the sunshine is a very busy place so we may need to get away from the crowds and the popular beaches in order to find adequate parking.
