Yes I do hope you appreciate me ringing the Gods and explaining that @AKA Bob is a rather sensitive and delicate cyclist to whom a ride to that far distant pier would need to be warm, dry and tail winded as an absolute minimum. As you now see the Gods have obliged by blowing the old forecast far away.
It's only 9.5% proof - are sure that's strong enough for your taste?
Good point. However one has to be careful when riding. I did have a jar or two of their rather stronger stuff (was it 12%?) on @frank9755's great ride. I don't think I have ever ridden faster for the next 45 minutes. But then it was like hitting a wall. I may have actually hit a wall. I wouldn't have known the difference. Payback big style. Never again!
That website completely differs to Weatherspark who I believe get their data from the well thought of Norwegians.
Indeed FD. Its just the making up for those that may fail to to be there that may be a bit challenging. Especially without TC to assist.Seeing as the new venue of Beaches Bistro have gone to all the trouble of opening up for us and extending their drinks licence, I feel it's my duty to ensure that their efforts aren't in vain, so regardless of the weather conditions, I will definitely be on the ride. It's a sacrifice that must be made.
As I'd be in the smoke for Friday night anyway, might as well just travel up a few hours earlier....Seeing as the new venue of Beaches Bistro have gone to all the trouble of opening up for us and extending their drinks licence, I feel it's my duty to ensure that their efforts aren't in vain, so regardless of the weather conditions, I will definitely be on the ride.

Sounds like a good plan. I meanwhile have a recce to do on Friday/Saturday!As I'd be in the smoke for Friday night anyway, might as well just travel up a few hours earlier....
I'll go for the 'sync rendezvous by taking the same roads and riding somewhat faster' option. The Friday morning peloton is unlikely to be more than about fifteen minutes up the road (it's two miles round from HPC to Waterloo for a start). And someone might decide to have a puncture at the Arch.....Might be worth using Glympse https://www.glympse.com/ to sync rendezvous - install it at home rather than trying to install whilst out and about
It seems to be in common use by the Essex Peloton when trying to get everyone in the same place and works quite well (as long as there is phone reception of course)
