Being a bit naive here... but this ride, what is it about, for and can anyone join?
It's Rogerzilla's gig (from over on YACF).
Basically it's a night ride from Oxford to London (FRNTTC stylee). Departs Oxford station on the stroke of midnight on Friday with an ETA at a Cafe in Acton around 0630. Then off to Paddington for a train or Victoria for a bus if required.
It's a lovely undulating route with a couple of challenging climbs to keep you awake. Progress is serene. quite magical.
We did the first at the end of March 09, it was chuffing freezing with sleet on top of Chinnor Hill. We were save by 'Road-runners' hospitality half-way with a humungous pile of cakes!
As the sun rose we pedalled under the M25 and hurtled into a waking London for brekkie at Paddington.
Oh, and yes, anybody can join. It's reasonably swift but not fast...
