just bumping this up- also letting people know I might not be well enough to do it- will keep you all posted as soon as I have some indication

 

[BentMikey]

Shame tt, hope you recover quickly, regardless of whether you do this ride. Do you mind if I advertise it on my skating club's website? There are a few cyclists who might be quite keen to come along.

 

[ttcycle]

of course Mikey - the more the merrier!

 

[Davywalnuts]

Am I right in saying we are "winging it" there with no official route?

 

[ttcycle]

From what I remember without checking the thread, Mikey has GPS- Redjedi I think knows the route pretty much...

Hilligdon isn't very big. I doubt even Martin with his Garmin could get lost there.

From HPC to the track it's a straight line, unless someone wants to lead us through a scenic route.

 

[redjedi]

This is probably the easiest route

Although someone may have a better plan.

But but but but but... thats like 10 miles??? Cant we add another "0" to that figure just for the fun of it?

We haven't decided how many times we're going to go around the track yet. You could go around 90+ times if you liked

that's the way I would go, although I might cut through Hyde Park at the start

You've committed yourself to it now Davy!!

We've seen it all posted...can't back out from doing 90 miles (90 odd laps of the circuit as a lap is about a mile) in an hour....good stuff!

The ride is on a Sunday morning. No way will Davy be in any fit state to ride his bike. He will be another no show for certain.

fair point stevew - I've met Davy once...but have seen lots of evidence of him flaking out due to the old hangover...still even if i'm not well enough to ride this-I might get to the track just to see the Davy special 90miler PB.
