Auntie Helen
Radius + friend
tdr1nka
User1314
User3143-lets do it again!!!!

So between now and Tuesday we have to agree a starting time so, what are thought's on that? 11ish too late for some?

 

[Radius]

Don't mind about time really, and that's quite a little group now, some of those names ring a bell for some reason... (apart from Auntie Helen, of course )

 

[DJ]

Ok, that's great it's actualy tdr1nka I am more concerned about regards time as he mentioned he has to juggle child care a bit so just hoping it's ok with him.

Defo a couple of bevvies at the end, there is one member of the group who said they would like a stop in the middle too, it's fine with me as it just makes it more fun really so I will find somewhere in Bromley area that is suitable.

May I be so bold as to suggest the Partridge Pub in Bromley for your needs

Has a very small walled garden at the side were you can lock the bikes up.

Have fun on this ride... Personally I'll have to decline as:

1. I'm working
2. As you have seen, I can't do hills!

Have fun
SD

 

[Aperitif]

Yes you can SiD -you were fine on Saturday...don't know what you are thinking. A few more each time and your legs will learn and you will know your legs etc...
You were one of the team - perfect!

 

[Auntie Helen]

Sittingduck, what's work when you have the opportunity to leave me for dead up hills!

Aperitif, can you slip away from the evils of work for a while to help drag me up the Mountains of South London?

 

[tdr1nka]

Not to worry, Miss tdr1nka is spending the day with a family friend who will spoil her rotten, she'll not notice I've gone.
Although I do have to say I'd prefer the 11am start so's I don't have to race to get to the start.

You may be so bold as to suggest that yes Ian, especially as it looks perfect. thanks.

 

[Auntie Helen]

I'm really happy with an 11am start, or even later, due to the vagaries of traffic down your part of the world (up here people still use horse & cart for the most part!). Is there anyone for whom an 11am start is too late in the day?

 

[Auntie Helen]

djtheglove has offered for me to park at his place, which I shall probably do, or failing that some on-road parking near Tdr1nka's so I can cycle in with him. My car satnav should hopefully lead me safely to either location!

 

[ianrauk]

Shall I come on this ride? Sorely tempting?
Could do the loop, the leave you at Herne Hill and do half the loop again back to Bromley, then could add another 20-30 miles by zooming off into the Kent countryside.

Aw, go on! You know you want to.
I'll be on the roadie so there's a fair chance I'll be faster than I was on the weekend.

Still got stinky cold btw, I have it as a reserve excuse.

Ok folks here is the latest update on the mini hilly, Start time has been settled at 11am "H" I want you to park as close to the start as poss (just thinking of time saving) so I will PM you details presently. Or if it's easier to stop at Dom's a bit less driving then that's fine.

I went out this afo and reccied some of the Bromley part's I wasn't 100% sure about, found some nice tweeks to the route which I will edit when I have time, did the Hill's and yes I did know I was going uphill on my MTB as well !!!!!!!

Now that I have committed to the Pub in Bromley, I took a look up their and guess what folks it's on top of another hill, There is also a grave yard near by for those who need it!!!!

So the mini hilly is not quite so mini anymore. (Thanks Ian).

Ian please feel free to join us you are a local lad after all!
