Looks like I picked the right year to do the Brighton ride instead.

the 50 miler to the gay place on the seaside?

After the 220 mile overnight ride with Martin last month I'm taking it easy on the night rides for now.

On the 12.19 train after a few pints

No CC food wagon - No fun

Anyone has a gpx for the way back?

Here's my proposed track back to the Dartford Crossing based on the route I took last year, but taking out the busy roads. It also goes reasonably close to railway stations as bail out options.

I promise the words 'and back' are very much on my mind

Dartford Crossing? I'd stay in Dunwich

You get to sit down whilst a nice man drives you and your bike across. A sit down might be just the job at that point.

DeckerTim and I will most likely be at London Fields by about 7.00pm on Saturday, and will probably be heading eastwards with the early starters. If anyone fancies joining us on the ride back, let me know. It won't be a super speedy ride back though....

I will be at London fields from 6 onwards (near / in the pub) and will probably set off with the early starters as I want to get back reasonably early on Sunday.

I will be riding part of the way back as far as Woodbridge before turning off for home so may join you for this bit.

I hope to ride back body willing although I have doubts about a new saddle and hike in seatpost, I'm hoping some aches and pains are just adjustment to the new position, suspect I'll know for sure by Dunwich

not super speedy sounds utterly fine by me unless I can find a crawl group

Crawl group???


That's me!

Grrrrrrr car's buggered (gearbox ) so I regret no option of food stop at the end now as this won't be back with me for at least a week (yeah right). Apologies for anyone that was relying on this at the end.

So I will also be joining the queue at the cafe in Dunwich and riding back home via Ipswich afterwards.

Well I've just checked the stove, it works...

Sorted the mudguard problem. I have added a bit to my broken back one and am getting a not quite as broken as mine from a mate at work who is fitting new ones to his bike in anticipation of heavy rain.
So no throwing away money on a new pair to get wrecked in the lorry on the way back, and hopefully no wet backside.
I'll get a new pair for next year and cycle back to protect them.
Been reading some posts on YACF and apparently there are some extra unofficial feeding posts along the way.

little or no rain, fact

bacon stop at Gosbeck and someone else 20 miles from the end is all I've read so far

I'm hardening on early start and then do the stop and cafe before they get busy, or skip the stop and do the Gosbeck if the stop is busy, and then ride back, fallback position ride ti Ipswich

you're taking a stove LYB? dear god

Yep. I thought fresh noodles at 1/2 way and fry up on the beach....
