Just back from Brighton. Today was the Historic Commercial Vehicle run from London to Brighton. The starting point this year was Brooklands, no doubt due to Kahn’s ULEZ. The route went via Ryka’s Cafe on the A24, which made for a good spectating place, bagging a good spot at 08:15. It took a good 2 hours for the entrants to make their way past, before jumping on the Fazer, and heading for The Chalet at Cowfold for breakfast. There was a wait for food, which I expected as it is cooked to order.
After a chill in the sun, I enjoyed my normal B road route over the South Downs, before finding a parking spot quite near where the trucks and buses etc were being displayed. A quick lap of all the vehicles was a bit of an effort in bike gear as the sun was certainly out to play, then back on the bike and home via the Ashdown Forest for an ice cream. Just about to catch up on today’s MotoGP and yesterday’s NW200 super bike race.
