Another Northampton to London ride - Sat. 12th May

[Davywalnuts]

I know... I cant eat brekkie too early so it suits my greedy stomach fine.. just not my sleeping pattern..

And I love being TEC, so I shouldnt grumble there really... but still, as it will be early, I will...

How do the hills on this route compare with a Turners or a Bury or a Ditchling?

There's one a few miles after the lunch stop which is almost as steep as Turner's Hill (but a lot shorter). There's nothing like Ditchling though.

However, as mentioned above, and as shown on the profile from the gpx route, the terrain is rolling so there will be lots of short ups and downs at times. There are some nice flat bits as well though, honest!

Looks like shorts weather tomorrow - don't forget the sun tan lotion.

Was just thinking that, but was wondering if that was tempting fate...

Does Stu carry such items in that rucksack?

No one, not even Stu knows what resides in the deepest darkest recesses of his rucksack. But move the kitchen sink and I'm sure you will find some.

Shorts. If only. Have to keep the scars covered.

It's only 3 miles to Euston. I'm sure you can make it within an hour

Might be three miles when you do it. It isn't necessarily that short when I do.

Greg - FD and I are meeting TMN at Victoria at 8am but we're on earlier trains from Euston (08.46 and 08.54). If you can make an earlier train to Victoria, we'd love to have you with us. Otherwise, see you at Northampton - the 09.13 train will get you there in good time.

Things are improving here - hoorahhhh! Please can I join you at 8am at Victoria?

Cycling from Croydon up to Euston, so if anyone is around anywhere, can tag in, or maybe I can tag in somewhere? if not, see you in Northampton!
