BHF London to Brighton 2016...whole ride

Please reduce your volume before watching.

[@crazytribefan]

Thanks for posting this video. I've recently got back on a stationary bike to get back into shape and like to watch videos of cycling in London and England as I peddle. This video of yours is my favorite! Thanks again!

[@M3EVOpower]

wow! Thats some serious riding! 3 hours and 11 is insanely quick!

[@adamc599]

I watched it and thought it was insanely quick ... then at the 2022 BHF ride on Sunday, I did it 5 minutes faster than this! I'm *not* insanely quick, but we did have a slight tailwind, so I expect that accounts for it.

[@fredsmith4066]

Thanks for putting this up. I've got an exercise bike during lockdown and it was great cycling along to this! :)

[@englishcyclist]

this has helped me plan my route tomorrow, thanks :)

[@jeffreyrumbold9363]

Nice video - brought back memories of my one and only LTB in 1995. Hard to tell if this is the same route after so many years - and the fact I only ever covered the ground once! And I for one love that there's no soundtrack.

[@studiotwentyone]

I literally watched the whole thing.. the guy at 2:45:13 without the helmet and going faster than the speed limit at 2:57:51. Excellent ride well done to you! I’m doing it this Sunday and hopefully if I finish on Sunday that would be an achievement :))

[@adamc599]

Did you finish? It was my first time on Sunday, I loved it. I wonder if no-helmet guy took it off for the climb, and we can't see it on his left side. It's only walking pace at that point, so maybe not a massive safety concern 🙂

[@meloaleo]

That 1 series orange bmw at 19:20 is happy about his 250 pcp a month finance you can tell

[@sabuein]

Thank you, brother, and keep on riding. Peace and love. ✌😎

[@velosapien]

Riding with Mr OG at 00:53, got dropped at 01:08. Tried to play catch-up thereafter pending heart rate.This is a great ride for a great cause and I invite everyone to take part.Only gripe I have is this is a great ride, which I will not miss and on father's day which annoys my kids and unfortunately for lots of fathers this would be their last. hopefully we can all get together in mass and request BHF to reschedule date in the future.

[@mikeonhisbikes]

Nice video - looks like you had an early start - and no hold-ups that hit the later riders.

[@onyourleft7277]

Hey hey, this is a great video. Im new to cycling, how do you get the speed and elevation tracking?

[@richardtownsend5703]

Nice, vid. similar time to mine. What time did you set off. I'm guessing you were 6 am or 630 am start time, looking at the trafic

[@adamc599]

Surprised there was so much overtaking, especially early on - assumed people were started in order of the "expected time" on the registration form to reduce fast passes on slower riders.

[@adam-g7crq]

Great video, you'll see me standing on the bridge at Carshalton Pond's 😁👍

[@AmiranBokhua]

Great video.

[@jessicalane5689]

Are all the roads blocked off for this route? If not how busy are they

[@kieronflood1913]

2:17:15 - lucky that guy was there, nearly took the wrong exit... lool!

[@achitophel5852]

Quite a few marshalls around there - most of'em half asleep. What was he doing, not giving the correct direction well in advance? What else was he there for?

[@ChubbyChecker182]

Is there a time stamp for Ditchling Beacon ? And is that the only really bad hill in this ride, it are there others ?

[@danblackwod9240]

Great video! Will help in my training for next year! Where exactly in London does this start from? I can’t seem to get a straight answer when I google it?

[@sarathczachariah2043]

Clapham junction

[@Teddy_Bass]

Absolutely flying

[@deanmc178]

love the BMC suits ,, i have one

[@deanmc178]

along with a BMC BIKE

[@Mark-id3ub]

Cracking Ride 👍🚴‍♂️🍺

[@petermarin]

How do you get this crazy overlay? You're awesome

[@velosapien]

The overlay software is Garmin Virb Edit. All guages are included.

[@Averagingalex]

Tricycle comes whizzing past

[@JoSantino147]

Which camera did you use to record all this?

[@velosapien]

I used a gopro 3, hopefully next year will be Gopro 7

[@dbandz2625]

I’m doing the London to Brighton bike ride in September does anyone know if this is the same route please great video and I’m now looking forward to the ride think I need some extra hill practice looking at ditchling beacon looks very painful 😓

[@velosapien]

Is your ride organised by BHF, then its the same route. Ditchling is tough as some places are more than 10% gradient and also its at the end when you have burnt all the matches. Please let me know the date / organiser of your ride as I'd like to re-record this with more modern camera and gps equipment..👍

[@dbandz2625]

It’s organised via London to Brighton bike ride and anyone can be a sponsor im doing it for diabetes uk thanks for the info I’ve done a 48 mile ride an bottled a hill about 40 miles in so best do that ride again and complete the hill a few times I reckon as it ain’t as long as ditchling cheers for the info an stay safe

[@dbandz2625]

And it’s 19th September buddy

[@The1982t]

Ahhh .. I’ve just checked there site and it says this event is “sold out” 😠

[@dbandz2625]

Did you do it again this year if so will you be releasing a video also I done it in 4hours 4 mins an never rode up ditchling so I’m going again next year to ride up the beacon this time

[@1MagicAndMayhem1]

You went past my house in ditchling

[@kazikssss]

what bike did you ride ?

[@velosapien]

Felt f4c

[@deanmc178]

take note ,, riding up ditchling beacon in this video some riders have no number ,they didnt ride from london

[@stephen_101]

Yep, talking to the marshalls they approximate about 15% of the riders are gate crashers 😮

[@simonboard8558]

what was this filmed on?

[@velosapien]

Simon Board This was filmed on a gopro 3 with a battery xtender and a 128g micro sd card

[@goldenboy8769]

could've just said gopro 3

[@JoSantino147]

Metrics not really syncd w the vid tho. But cool stuff

[@fatmanonabike238]

I did the ride for the time yesterday

[@The1982t]

How long did it take you?

[@fatmanonabike238]

@@The1982t I was on the road a longtime actually riding was about 6 hours with stops about 10 hoirs

[@Merky_Gz]

hi Velosapien.. are you French.?

[@velosapien]

RAPTOR Sjk je suis no Frenchy

[@snackysnacks2891]

I did it in 5 hours 19 mins solo no support and no drafting 💪

[@snackysnacks2891]

On a mountain bike 😂

[@lauramolony]

Nice video. If it was me, though, I would have given it a soundtrack.

[@Bayo106]

bad idea

[@lauramolony]

@@Bayo106 how do you figure?

[@achitophel5852]

Place names and points of major interest - but not a running commentary - would be useful to many viewers,

[@adamc599]

Top Tip: give any video a soundtrack by playing music while you watch it

[@miles9294]

Doing it today on my trail bike should be interesting

[@doskraut]

lycra louts

[@PlattyNumm]

couple of stupid car drivers around 19:20 and 19:42

wtf, that black car
