FNRttC FNRttC: Whitstable - 17 August 2018

[rb58]

Hi all- first time with the FNRttC. Looking forward to it!

Welcome!

 

[mmmmartin]

they weren't going all the way to Victoria. Needless to say at Vic no one checks/checked tickets if/when you go through the luggage gate.

Or even getting on in Brighton then off at Croydon and changing to go to London Bridge. Or even getting off at Redhill and going to Tonbridge.
Advancing in years as I seem to be, a Senior Railcard is an awfully useful piece of cycling kit.
Note that for Whitstable there is a "cycle path"* from the station to Canterbury from where trains go to Tonbridge etc.

*as in old footpath with gravel and nothing like the sort of thing you see in other EU countries.

Ah the crab and winkle way a very early railway line between the towns. Done it many times, best done on wide tyres /mtb.

The Lovely Helen aka Mrs Gregry is a big fan of the Crab and Winkle. Her kind of cycling. I remarked it was nice of them to have lifted the sleepers first. She didn't get it.

Is a nice ride, just wish it was longer.

This will be my 4th ride with you lot since I joined last October. Feel I am getting addicted to overnight cycling. Is there a cure?

 

[Nick Saddlesore]

Is there a cure?

400k Audax.

400k Audax.

Hmmm. I was hoping for less drastic one.

Having visited the marvellous Waterfront today on a ride. I can report that a super duper new hand drier has been installed in the gents. Replacing the old one that emitted the amount of air akin to a dying mans last breath.

Take up silly bike racing, on dates that clash.

That way world championess madness lies.

Will have to keep an eye on the trains.....SWR strike on the 18th. Might have to go on the Southern cattle truck to get home.

The Friday's is first stage addiction but have you started riding at night on your own?

I must get her something with fat and squishy tyres and take her along the Downs Link which broadly, links nowhere with nowhere you'd want to go.

Also not fair on Guildford, which is quite a pleasant little town if you're not forced there for work.
