The 2 Andies are on the FNRttC but haven't said anything about joining the returning trip yet, but I'm sure they'll be up for it, and as Mistral lives near Richmond, he may as well join us.

I'll drop them a PM to make sure they've seen this one. The name of the ride may have put a few people off even looking

Aperitif's obviously a bit scared of our cycling ambitions and has decided to leave the country, any excuse

 

[stevevw]

I may be doing Brighton too.
Thinking of trying for my first 200 miler one year on from thinking I would never make it to the end of the 40 mile ride.

Crock how about sending a PM to all those that attended the inaugural ride?

 

[mistral]

And it's a yes from me.

But I'm a bit confused, am I right that we fnrttcers will be doing over 100 miles to meet up with the elite cyclists who, after a good nights sleep will have done a bit of a warm up ride to Box Hill

It will however be an honour and rare privilage to be in their company

 

[Auntie Helen]

CoG, do you want the thread title changed to something a bit more obvious?

"Ride for Cyclists who enjoy beer and kebabs" ?........

 

[Auntie Helen]

I was thinking more on the lines of 'CC Richmond Park Anniversary Ride to Box Hill, 28 Nov 2009' but that's perhaps a bit dull.

Besides I don't enjoy beer and very rarely have kebabs. Perhaps that's why I cycle so slowly!

What about us that prefere wine and cheese? Do we have to stay in Brighton?

But some of the Elite group may have to be up as early as 6am to get to SW London in time

'CC Anniversary Ride, Richmond Park/Brighton to Box Hill, 28 Nov 2009' would be a more descriptive but less amusing name.

Another one roped in adventurous enough to join us from Brighton

[Davywalnuts]

Davy, the "tri-girls" will be squeezing into their tightest of lycra and all been well will be making the return ride to Box Hill. This been their first FNRttC they don't know how they will feel in the morning but if they need any persuasion I'm sure you can work your magic...

 

[4F]

Tony & Helen
Why not drive down Friday evening, park at my place and then we can do the FNRttC as a warm up for the elite ride.

Steve, would love to however I do not finish work until 1 am on the Saturday

 

[Sittingduck]

Not sure if I'm going to be on this ride. Will update nearer the time.
