+1. Have checked train times, an early start's no problem for me (as long as it's not 6am!!).

Martin, it's 7 miles or so south of Chichester.

 

[martint235]

So we're looking at 110 miles there and back? That's do-able

 

[ianrauk]

I should say so

Not really 'keeping up' with things for the moment.

Sunday, 'late' start to the seaside after allez retour of Whitstable on Saturday. Monday, HPC or other London rv. for a quick 120kms.(about ) To the Jolly Farmer in Cookham via Windsor, Eton, Burnham Beeches - quick return via Maidenhead, Eton Wick, Datchet, Windsor Great Park then townbound to HPC or other destinations...

Aye, getting there thanks mate, you? I've still got niggling issues around knee/hamstring, but sod it! ha!

Ahh, yes, I quite surprised ive seen no other uptake from anyone else about this.. but Oxford, Whitstable and Brighton make three Friday night rides in a row so undertandable.. but I could do with the company of familar faces... . Ah, yes, but I can now climb hills, honest, and much better now ive got cleat covers...

It is. My current record is 163.5 miles, if we could break that it would be fantastic!!!

Well, if we end up "Mouseketeering", you could end up smashing that... depends if 'teef wants to come with his Garmin or not too... come on 'teef, you know you want to..

I've also noticed the route down takes us past Ally Mac'b's house, and we all know his wife bakes awesome cookies, and yet I see no comment from our fav butterfly bar rider about this ride, "Where are ya, lets be 'aving ya!" and we also go near Arundel... please pretty please, lets go past it!?

I might be up for this, subject to a bit of double checking nearer the time.

Last time I cycled to East Wittering, it was so cold my right eye partially froze up, so it would be nice to see the place properly, in the warm glow of an August bank holiday sun rise.
