I have woken up with a cold and feel pretty rough. Will see how I feel in the morning

If you read back through the thread, personal descriptions may help in identifying some of us at HPC

Sorry @Recycle and @topcat1 I'm out of this one, so no need to look out for me at Croydon. Looking forward to the Brighton FNR now.

I'll still be there but depending on the weather, all the way to Brighton may not be the goal. Does anyone still need help in finding their way from East Croydon to the meeting point?

 

[StuAff]

Still planning to ride along for this. Tailwind going out, unfortunately (and acts of Network Rail mean train all the way not an option). Ho hum.....

 

[defy-one]

Looks like bad weather coming in. Plan is to cycle.from.slough to hoc,and then do the first leg to Croydon.
Make an executive decision there .... If anyone is an executive ... Please make youself known at halfway point

 

[Gordon P]

Can I join you lot?
I'll be coming from North London so where should I meet you and what route would be good to take to get there?
What time should I leave to allow for the ride to the meeting place?
Sorry for the nooby question, I'm a virgin this will be my first ride.
Thanks
Mark.

As an alternative to HPC, I will be at the Marriott Hotel, County Hall at 7.15 - tall thin codger on a red Kona

Looking like a bit of rain for the morning but clearing for a better afternoon and early evening.

Loving your optimism Ian! Is it 7.30 at DT? Like Martin, I'm reserving judgement until the morning. If it's teeming down I'll be staying in and gong out somewhere local when it dries up. If I'm coming at be at DT before 7.30. If I'm not there, don't wait.

Yup, 7.30 @ TDT then round to pick up the Velo.

...and putting it down again before it does your back in

Forecasts seem to vary from wet early and later on windy to very wet early and later on very windy (though lighter as you move west). Sounds like my ride home will be hard work either way...

 

[RiflemanSmith]

Is any one still going to HPC?
