[User]

I am up for it though have not been that way for ages and never on a bike!

would prefer a morning rather than afternoon

 

[mistral]

I'm interested. I can't do the Hilly 50 as my daughter is in Kingston Magistrates court that day .... taking part in a schools mock trial.

User - could you conjure up a tasty route to entice us, what's the likely mileage?

 

[davidg]

more than 50k but not as many hills

 

[davidg]

kms or miles?
if kms, perfect!

 

[PK99]

That's 4!

I'll work out a route of, say, between 50 and 70ish?

Leave RP at 10, lunch at Boxhill somewhere...

...got a few days to work it out.

Tollers etc made some recommendations last year, which I'll chase up.

have a look here:

plus... the cock at headley (10 mis from bx hill) does good beer and cracking food

Hello CoG,

Isnt this the date of the CC Anniversary ride, or is this the Anniversary ride?

Just checked my dairy and thats whats showing.. either way, am free!

 

[redjedi]

I'm in!

This is the anniversary ride Davy, so hopefully there's more than 5 of us

I'm going to order a new cassette to make light work of Box Hill

 

[Davywalnuts]

Ahhh haaa! Sweet!

Man up, wimp! hehehe

 

[redjedi]

I may need to man up now.
I've just had to have the bearings replaced in my bottom bracket after the old ones disintegrated.
More parts may have to wait.

Come on there must be more than 5 of us up for this ride!

 

[Tollers]

I would say yes, but 13th is going to be one of my two leaving drinks nights, so i will probably decline and save my strength for drinking in the evening.

 

[ttcycle]

coff coff COG - I would join you but the hills are frightening for me in my current weakling state..not after the Brighton run as I'm definitely not quite up for it. Maybe next time...

 

[Sig SilverPrinter]

I may be able to make this if i can work out how to get there

 

[redjedi]

Nice one Sig, will be good if you can make it.

I was going to suggest the Overground form Stratford, but that part of the line is closed at the moment.

It's about 6.5 miles form Hyde Park Corner or you could jump on the train from Waterloo.

No worries.

It's only cycling (!).

I reckon 2010 will be a good year for Cycle Chatters.

What's that big night-ride to the East Coast?[/QUOTE]
