The riding pace is relatively slow, until you hit the M20. Don't know how you'll be riding to Brighton, presumable on the A roads.
It's all dead easy and not a concern as long as you concentrate.

I was thinking of going from the ace with all the bikers until they hit the motorway I will then folow my tomtom down the a roads to brighton.

anyone on a scooter or a slower bike please join me.

I imagine there will be quite a few other bikers doing the a road trip instead of the motorway.

I am going on the ride, I cant flippin wait, me and two of my mates going down the ace at bout 8:30 ish onwards.

There will be loads of 'L' plate chaps who cant use the motorway, the pace is slow due to the amount of bikes. You have two options;

Follow some of other 125s down on the A roads or,
Take you 'L' plates off and come on the motorway, its not fast so you can keep up. Either way there will be loads of fun all day.

I assume that's because all the other bikes are going down the M23 Laughing

I want to do the motorway but my bike might not be fast enough I assume everyone will be doing 70+.

and the A roads will be a bit more interesting..bendy greener etc. but i guess the feeling of riding with thousands of bikers will be lost.

Yeah thats a pitty, try and keep near some 'L plate warriors' and follow as many as you can then you wont lose the feeling so much!

As soon as you get near Brighton again you will probably join back in with the main bunch again.
