Re:Please sponsor me to skate London to Brighton! - 15:37 16 May 07
Cor that boy gets EVERYWHERE..just like sand 
Taken from WOW 16th May 2007
== BRIGHTON ROCK (AND ROLL) ==
17th June is the date of the annual London-Brighton bike ride, when
27000 people get their bikes out of the shed and "I haven't done any
training, you know" wobble along this 54 mile route before pushing
their bikes up Ditchling Beacon. Last year a small group of London
skaters decided to do it on skates instead, and they all came back
saying how great it was, so this year we plan to repeat the
experience. Advantages: nobody will believe you've done it, it looks
so much cooler, and you can go home on the train (cyclists can't, due
to overcrowding concerns). And it's a great way to promote skating to
cyclists - especially when you overtake them 
If you're interested, have a look at the thread on the
serpentineroad.com forum. There'll probably be several groups at a
range of speeds, so if you think you can cope with the distance don't
worry that you'll be too slow. And if you're not interested in doing
it yourself, have a gander at Dan Benton's Justgiving page, where he's
raised over £700 already for Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust.
