New Year Night Ride to the Coast - 2nd January 2015

Sorry to hear that @ttcycle. I'm not riding it either - just haven't got my miles back up after the last sinus infection and I'm running another low grade one again now.

GWS vv!

I'm planning the SLR though if I'm not still exhausted by then.

@Flying Dodo has been running rides like this for many years and does not have a reputation for flaking out on people.
Which is what cancelling 2 weeks beforehand often is in my experience.
These rides go in the diary and nothing - I mean nothing - interferes with that.
He doesn't double book himself or cancel a commitment due to a 'better offer' that comes along later.
From what I have observed, it would take a near death illness and/or totally unsafe conditions to make him cancel.

He is never ill.

FD - Can I have some of your DNA/blood please?

You may want to reconsider, @wanda2010 - I'm convinced he's alien.

Some of my family and friends would consider I am one at times

Bump. Forecast for most of the night looking OK, but then rather nasty- a headwind, rain from 5am or so and likely to be heavy. Wind strengthening also, over 20mph.

 

[Flying Dodo]

At least it's not snowing!

At least it's not snowing!

Ever the optimist....

Out, I'm afraid. I'm so sorry - it's more than likely I'm working on Saturday. Was looking forward to this one, but have a good and safe ride, one and all.

 

[Flying Dodo]

Shame.

They keeping you at work to count all the giraffes then?

 

[Flying Dodo]

We'll be using the Dorking variation tonight, so I'll post up a gpx file a bit later on.

 

[Dogtrousers]

Still in.

 

[StuAff]

Ticket bought, kit readied...

 

[mistral]

Sorry, but I have to bail too

Really disappointed not being able to make this ride - or even the latter part of it.

FD: if you plan to use the B2139 Trout Lane south, take care of poor road surface on the first few inclines out of Barns Green - would advise primary.. And Stream Lane at West Chilt is atrocious. Extreme caution advised to avoid the potholes.

Have a great ride everyone.
