December ride for food

[martint235]

Is there one? I seem to remember it was going to be on Sunday 4th. If there isn't one, I'll be riding to Rye again to get my gold star

 

[StuAff]

Nothing organised, AFAIK...?

It was for Sunday 4th.. but destination wasn't decided.

 

[ianrauk]

How about Southend and back...Rye is a little too far and hard work for a Sunday and I would think Abs would want to join us. So Southend would be easier.

Yep sounds ok to me. Southend is a nice easy ton.

Originally it was going to be Maldon but after the windy pounding me and Dave took on the Cambridge route I was actually wondering if Windsor would be better. That way it's a headwind on the outbound and a helping hand back.

 

[ianrauk]

Be honest Abs, would prefer Southend as it's a nice leg stretcher rather then battling through town.
And think I will be able to Clive out for it, seeing as he needs to up his training.

Aaaand.. Topcat has a really nice route...

Southend with Abs hhmmmmmm

 

[HaloJ]

Okey dokey. Southend with TC's route it is. Over to you Dave!

Now all I have to do is work out how I'm going to get to HPC.

EDIT : Oh, the A5 direct from Watford.

 

[ianrauk]

You in Watford now aren't you? Into Euston and we can meet you in Holborn. Just straight down from Euston

Just checked the trains. The earliest seems to only get in at 7:40/50.

 

[ianrauk]

that's ok, we can meet you in Holborn just after 8

 

[StuAff]

I'm out, can't make it into the smoke before 8.50 on a Sunday unless it's under my own steam...never mind.

 

[ianrauk]

Yeah I guessed that Sunday would be a problem for you Stuey.

Now..... can I be put down, literally, for even thinking about this ride... it would be my 4th early weekend 100mile+ cycle on the trot, but, I MUST BEAT Stu's miles, even if it kills me..

Southend, nice and flat, what will help my very dead legs.. and I am on an all day booze up on the Saturday... but... I do have the Monday off work to recover... hmmmmm... I wonder if I can do a 100mile a week for 8 weeks on the trot till New Year..

Can a be put down as a very interested, subject to how bad the room is spinning when I wake up this Sunday please, thanks!
