So, having already put aside Sunday 13th September to pedal for PLIRB, Sean decided to keep the date and the ambition, but change the route.
He remains signed up for the L2B 2021 but his charity bike ride 2020 will now take place, like the PLIRB itself, as an independent effort. The London to Brighton route is approximately 55 miles, so Sean’s sticking with the distance (and social distance) and has instead organised his own route. This will take him from Rye Harbour, out through Kent, then back along the Kent coast to return to Sussex and finally finish at the Pett Level Independent Rescue Boat boathouse.
This is the most up to date plan, but of course it will still be subject to alterations on or around the day, including:
- Local area lock-downs, if and when they happen.
- Traffic restrictions – again in relation to lockdown or weekend road closures.
- Diversions and delays – yes, all the usual delights of the roads!
