I'm up for this if I may. Tried picking my way through the thread, but still not sure on the arrangements... assuming you are riding out to Windsor after Mike's early o'clock arrival, any chance that the route comes though Chiswick/Kew or nearby and I could jump on there?

Pm'd you Des...

The recce ride today was a pleasant sojourn into the sunkissed reaches, nay Beeches, of Buckinghamshire, Berkshire and beyond.

Slough brought its juxtaposition of naff and crass together - no point in bombing something that already looks blown up. Even the atmosphere had potholes.

I picked up some houmous and pitta bread for Monday - left it stashed at the side of the road with barely a clue how to find it...

This was the dellzeqq style 'off road' section - great view! And I chatted with a woman who had a great pair.
Parsons Jack Russells they were, and she advised me of a roadworthy route - just need to find it on the map now - the bridleway is a no-no for 23c fairies like me. (I did this recce on my Veneto + 25 M+ - so I was 'protected')

Culture stretched as far as the eye could see...A combined exhibition by Jake the Peg and Jack Vettriano knocking 'em for six in Bray...

In Eton, they know how to make a long-distance cyclist welcome...

The latter part of the ride - in Windsor Great Park - Smith's Lawn. (This morning, Mr Smith's lawn was being finely trimmed with a robot lawn mower.) Amazing sight - back garden lawn, as far as the eye can see! If the polo finals are on Monday - that will be a spectacle!

The weather - excellent. The company? Couldn't understand a thing he was talking about.

Could I be privy to this PM? I would like to know what time I need to crawl out of bed.

I'm guessing you'll be passing at about 9.30.

Sorry to all who have been putting this together but I am having to rearrange my weekend and cycle on Sunday instead of Monday. Have a great time and see most of you on Friday/Sat for the Whitstable FNRttC.

Hello everybody, I'm back from the Lakes and ready for another adventure......

The Lake's weekend involved lot's of walking (no bikes at all), nearly getting lost and some mixed weather which was largely ok..ish.

The Bank Holiday will hopefully involve lots of cycling (no walking at all, unless Teef has planned something evil), not getting lost (were talking people's back yard's here) and brilliant weather (because were in the south and it's always sunny).

Des, glad you can make this ride

DJ, hope you can too

Sig, always room for cake in my bag...:rolleyes:

Everyone else, see you all soon.

I'm on the 05:36 Sheffield to St Pancras 08:09 train, which means I only need to leave the house by 04:00...:biggrin::sad::biggrin:...or should that be...:sad::sad::sad:...no it's definately...:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:...because it's going to be worth the early start.
