I'll be riding up from London Bridge. A sensible route (to me) looks like Gracechurch Street, Bishopsgate , Shoreditch High Street then right onto Hackney Road, followed by Goldsmiths Row, across the canal, Broadway Market and into the back of the park.

What does the panel think? I'll be on a fixer, so should blend right in.

That's the way I go. Goldsmiths Row is the left turn by the City Farm, then just keep going straight ahead. @ianrauk and I will be coming past London Bridge at about 11.15-11.20 if you want an escort.

My bold.
Good man.
I'll be with you in spirit.

That's pretty much the way I had in mind too.

Excellent. With a bit of luck I'll be on a train getting in at 2315. I'll PM you and @ianrauk my mobile number.

Mostly because the pink magenta bike is off the road, awaiting final dismantling and sending to Derby for a new coat of paint.

When will you arrive? I'll meet @Andrew Br and @Mice 22:15 at Euston station. Our plan A would be to ride straight to London Fields and maybe have a drink at the pub, provided we can sort out bicycle parking safely (I doubt that...). Plan B could be to ride to Liverpool Station and pick you up there.

We're aiming to get there around 11:00. There's a pub at the entrance to Liverpool Street Station with lots of outdoor space and easily accessible toilets. If you wanted to stop for a drink that gives you the option to have someone keep an eye on the bikes and all drink outside. It's behind Wasabi on the Bishopsgate entrance to the station.

@ianrauk @Tim Hall and I will be rolling up Bishopsgate at around 11.30 if anyone needs a guide to London Fields.

What's our ETA at Sudbury please @redfalo ? Just trying to figure out timing for Dartford Crossing purposes and if I'll be able to dodge the rain forecast for my route back on Saturday. Thanks

I reckon we will arrive Sudbury 5.45-ish.

@AlexB, I think we will ride straight to London Fields from Euston.

OK, I now can't spare the time to go all the way to Dunwich, Diss and get the train back then cycle back home. Therefore I'll be turning back at Sudbury with Ross.

So now I have a spare train ticket with bike reservation from Diss spare.
So any one wants it. gratis, just let me know.

You are offering a 100% Diss count. A good deal!

 

[ianrauk]

Oh yess.. the ticket is for the 14.47 from Diss.

I'm not long home from the dark satanic mill....
If Friday's ride is anything like my commute home was tonight, you'll all be in happy street.
Ace skies, ace temperatures.
Someone at work said of Friday - last day of the summer, then that's it - make of that what you will.
If I've not done so up thread, I'll wish you all a very fine and safe night.
One of which I confess to being slightly envious of - I've done the battery powered version - it is a totally different beast.
Meanwhile, I'll be thinking of you all, with you in spirit, while I spend this weekend disappearing far too much Veuve for my own good in Whitstable.

You will be missed. Hope to ride with you on a rerun sometime.
