England : Kent Cols de Rye 23.07.17

[Nick Saddlesore]

I'm leading a Central London CTC 3* ride on Sunday 23rd July from Ashford down to Dungeness, Lydd, pub lunch at Brookland, wiggling back through Luckhurst and Pluckley for a 100km round trip. Distinctly flat, brisk but sociable pace - ?23 kph average, with occasional bursts of excitement. Minimal faffage.

We will be on the 09.09 from St P. arr. Ashford 09.47, on the road very shortly after.
Kentish (and other peeps) welcome - RSVP.

@Nick Saddlesore Hi Nick, I may be interested in this as it's on my patch. What are the numbers like so far and how "organised" is it.

I usually get 6 to 12 for my club rides.
As organised as herding cats. Aim to ride loosely together, no-one gets dropped. There will be a back marker. No riding off the front, no undertaking. No planned P&T stops apart from lunch. Bring map if you think ride might be too fast or slow for your liking.

Sorry. Not this time. Have another ride planned. Thanks for thinking of me.

 

[Salty seadog]

Sounds good, I'll know in a few days wether I'm in.

What's a P&T stop?, or don't I want to know?

I'd love to do it, but as I'm in Russia this week and have worked the last 2 Sundays a quiet weekend pottering is in order...I'll be knackered come the weekend :-(

Try saying it.

 

[Salty seadog]

Fair do's, I did think that, mind you when you gotta go you gotta go.

 

[Fab Foodie]

Ok, am back on with this!!!

 

[Nick Saddlesore]

Welcome back.
Forecast is possible light showers, nice little headwind from Dungeness to Lydd.

As the Rain Jonah of The Fridays, I laugh in the face of light showers....
Will there be beer?
