O.k the the 30th March it is. What time should we meet at hemel station? I'm thinking 9-9.30 if we're going to be in the saddle for a few hours.

Clocks will have changed which will give a bit more light at the end.

I reckon I can ride up by 9.30 fairly comfortably.

Done. It's a tough slog from Chesham to HH at 9 on a Sunday morning, but it should be do-able.

Sorry, I'm out, as I'm in Amsterdam. Or rather, I will be on the 30th March.

Maybe next time. I'm hoping to make a 200km ride a regular thing

I've made a couple of more tweaks to the route so we're not cycling up and down the same road, and it means we cycle through a couple of villages like this:

I think we should call this the chocolate box ride.

Updated Route

Errmm looking at a gradient view of that map there's way too many steep downhills for my liking!!!

Sorry guys. I've just been reminded that's Mother's Day, so I'll be on family duties. Have a good ride.

9am would be better otherwise I'll need to be on the road at 5.30
