England : London London to Cambridge one way Sun 3rd May

[ttcycle]

Gauging interest for a one way London to Cambridge ride as the one posted here needs a more relaxed sister ride.

Starts at Liverpool Street station, 9:30 -10:00 start, ample breaks and gentle pace.

Weekend dates for May or June? Throw your hat in the ring and I'll put dates up!

We'd probably be up for that

Sunday actually works for me now As long as it's not weekend of 2/3 May or 16/17 May (prior nocturnal riding arrangements made) I'd be in.

Interested

I'm in. I like relaxed rides. I might ride back. But then, i might get the train. This far out, any date in May or June wold be good.

If you're talking about an easy-rider 10-12mph pace, then I'm interested. I can reach London early enough on Saturdays but not Sundays. I'd rather avoid the bank holidays (always busy in our tourist area) and the middle weekend in May (usually a charity ride on the Sunday - I expect 17th but the date isn't announced yet) but if that doesn't work for others, never mind.

I'd be up for this as well
May is good
Later part of June also good as have a London to Paris trip then.

I'm interested - dates NOT available:
16/17 May - StuAff's IoW night ride as noted above
23/24 May - Fridays tour as mentioned above by TMN
30/31 May - exam revision
TBC 6/7 June - exam revision, though exam date has not yet confirmed, it could be the week prior... in which I would be FREE!
And the rest of June, I am free as a bird - yay!

*throws hat in*
I'm up for this. Leisurely cake rides are always a good idea IMHO.

I may be interested. FWIW, I've done a couple of London to home (St. Neots) rides this year and it's a good ride. If you need help with the route, let me know (there's an easier way north and a much harder way!). BTW, I'd advise leaving a little earlier as London even on a Sunday morning gets really busy real quick.

Be aware that Sun 17th May is The Great Escape audax, so there will be a great many cyclists heading out of the City in the general direction of (although not actually directly to) Cambridge.

Sadly seems like the 17th is out @mjray for the above reasons- consensus seems to be early May - Sunday 3rd with a start at 9am instead at Liverpool St?

Monday is May bank holiday so depends if people already have plans for that weekend.

Also suggestions and routes for plenty of rest stops would be appreciated.

 

[outlash]

If you're heading out of Liverpool St, I think it'd be a good idea to stay east of the A10/A1 and head into Essex, you've only got to cross the A414 and M25 then. You could also do Mott St which is a decent climb. FWIW, this was my route out of London that headed in a more easterly direction: http://ridewithgps.com/trips/3315610 .

Before you book, let's see who's around. I think the route might be slightly different as we need more breaks but shouldn't change too much terrain wise.

@outlash will check the route and compare with the one from the out and back ride.
