Simon, you are a true friend

I do apologize to everyone for borrowing El Zeqq on the day of this ride. But then I partly blame @Agent Hilda, who likes a bit of Shakespeare. Well, either that or she likes to watch fit young men wresting amorously on stage. On reflection, she's probably pretty keen on both...

Fit young me v old cars and old men in tweed. Tricky one I'm sure.

We've invented a time machine??

I'm in! HPC to Croydon segment. Will deliberately ride the SS so I'm not tempted to ride to Brighton

There's an HPC start? Waterloo is better for me but it's nice to keep my options open

Good call on the SS. I'm not planning on riding all the way either but I'll see how I go on the day, how bailable the route is and whether my legs hold up after going to Windsor on the Saturday.

I was reading the blurb and I'm sure it said the cars would start there at 0700, head to the Marriot at County Hall, then onwards. I'll double-check.

"SUNDAY 4 NOVEMBER 2012
07:00 to 08:30 THE START - VETERAN CAR RUN

• Hyde Park, London (Location of Apsley Gate, Hyde Park Corner)
• FREE for all to view"

And here is a route map.

Plenty of bailout points on route.

Fab, thank you both.

Ta Ian.

ABV, we could just head over to Brixton and start from there, but I thought if I'm going to crawl out of bed at some disgraceful hour on a Sunday morning, I might as well do it properly

Just a reminder to those meeting in Croydon.
The meeting place is now Macdonalds in North End Road. HERE

Anyone know the weather forecast for Sunday?

I'm getting a bit tired of cleaning Lelly but will go on record and say I'll be in Croydon unless we're talking stupid amounts of rain or snow. All amounts of snow will be counted as stupid.

 

[defy-one]

My favourite weather site www.yr.no has Croydon in bright sunshine all day, and Brighton's rain clearing by midday, which sounds like good news. This may change of course. I've had enough of getting soaked lately so a rainy forecast might deter me, otherwise I'm aiming to join the Croydon start point.

Sounds good.we are hoping to cycle over to hpc in the morning and then follow the cars down to the coast.
I'm clinically allergic to rain :honestguv

This sounds like a fun ride... I think George and I might join u guys... maybe in East Croydon if that's ok.
