CC Anniversary Ride, Richmond Park/Brighton to Box Hill, 28 Nov 2009

[Origamist]

Note made in diary. Look forward to it...

 

[Aperitif]

Get to Boxhill, meet the Brighton contingent. Have lunch.

Back to London together. Have beer. Job done.

Methinks you are getting away lightly with this one Crock (unless you know a free pub - in which case 'Top Job'!)
Surely you fancy shepherding all the whingeing souls back from Brighton in fierce crosswinds and stiff peaks of Sussex's finest?

 

[redjedi]

Sounds good to me.

Actually it doesn't sound that good....riding through the night, going up Ditchling Beacon in both directions, Box hill then the Richmond Park hills

I think I will be legless before we get to a pub

 

[mike e]

Hehehe.

Need to keep those cycling from London to Boxhill company.

I do know a nice pub in Surbiton as it happens, owned by another dad from Kingston RFC. Anglo-Irish rugby themed, food and safe parking for bikes. It's in the back of mind re: the itinerary.

Will this pub definately be open......

Or shall I start compiling another letter?

I'm in.

Last year I was worried I could manage the 40 miles.
This year I am considering the FNRttC, Boxhill, Richmond then home 200ish miles

Thats damn good and I am pretty much the same on the above. This years miles have been mad!

I would really love to do a 200mile+ ride this year... am sure am capable of it...

Will you ride back in the general direction of Hertford steve? I don't mind to accompany you - see you on the way.etc...Davy can vouch for the 'breeze' form airportland to Hatch End / Borehamwood / Watford or wherever via some more enchanting hills.

Davy
We had better warn all the food stops to stock up if you me and Ant are riding. That reminds me 4F should do this ride too.

Martin
Yes heading for Hertford, probably end up being Hereford

 

[redjedi]

We also better warn the Italian lady at the top of Box hill that Davy is on his way

We'll need two of them though, as were coming from different directions.

Or is that Davy's personal one?

Ohhhhhhhh!!! I've heard about her.... she still around??

I think she is always there, greeting riders as they reach the top.

That ones mine... but am open to sharing..

However... what sort of greeting??
