Cheers, it will be great to have a mooch in a different area,have you got any ideas on mileage for the ride ?

However far it is from the station to the pub to the market to the park to the next pub. Not far unless something is organised... .

I'm thinking of offering a ride out from London, probably starting at St Pancreas. Depends on what time the Kent pussy could get to St. P, and where to meet 5 hours later. FNRttC pace, leaders pace uphill.

Sometimes autocorrect can't be resisted. There's a thread on CUK forum about a Viagra lever.

It looks as though we won't have to worry (unless the peloton gets very, very lost)

It's the end of season and riders not selected for the tour of Spain could well be lured off course by pies and gin!

If the Horses let me off for the day I'm in

Raises a tentative hand.

I would imagine that the Trumpton Park and Ride car park (free) has a height restriction, so be careful if you have bikes on top...

 

[GrumpyGregry]

Yay!

I got my mojo workin'.

Alternatively, it's the churches open day rides https://www.rideandstrideuk.org/ where many Anglican churches will be open with some offering soft drinks amd snacks as you're invited to see how many you can visit on foot or by bike.

Sadly and bizarrely, Cambridgeshire are among a number of counties inviting people to drive on the same day, putting walkers and cyclists there in more danger.
