Beat the clocks to Windsor

[Davywalnuts]

Could do as long as you don't mind waiting for me to puff up the three climbs.

We could meet a bit before Eton if you want. Right under mile 21 is the Windsor Farm Shop, a pleasant place for a coffee stop.

That my friend, would not be a problem, as stupidly, I am thinking of doing the Oxford-London ride, then straight to the reccie... Am I nuts?? So if I did, the chances are I would be fairly slow anyhow.

Still comtemplating it.. as it also means I can get out yet another day on slim-fast...

You say that to all your shoes, Clive.

I've got to agree with Davy about the route via Richmond park, Hampton Court, Lower Sunbury and Shepperton being more scenic, albeit a little longer.

Balls. Sorry, Davy, I won't be able to make the recce this Saturday, as I've just realised that the Cycle Show starts tomorrow, which means I'm out this Saturday heading up to Earls Court with a friend.

Sorry.

Might I suggest this route http://ridewithgps.com/routes/197004 to Windsor as a possible Davy friendly alternative.

Romance! I always liked route 1 - A30 (Pothole Central - it used to be...)...Staines by Pass, M25 racing and the curly-wurly arrival to the gloomy underpass at Runnymede, thence The Thames a droit, past the parking (Always meant to try 'ices' at the café there...) to Priest Hill, up and in the Park, or straight ahead to Datchet - sneaking up on the Castle from behind, then doing a nice little shimmy across the footbridge toward Eton.

Great minds. This was the route I had just finished, which is almost exactly the same. Only adds another 5 miles to the route.

The A4 through Maidenhead didn't look too nice so I tried to minimise our exposure to that stretch of road.

Does anyone have Sig's number? I know she doesn't get online much at the moment and we may need cake at some point

Don't really want to publish it because of 'spambots', Luke. It's here.

 

[Mark Grant]

Luke, your route through Kingston seems to go against the one way system, but it is only a small adjustment to go with the flow.
