After a glorious night of cycling, some socialising in the biting northerly gale whipping off the North Sea on the open deck of the Waterfront Club and maybe a light refreshment of some sort, I'm going to be riding back.
Back towards Bromley.
Bromley, where other people that ride bikes and who should know better but just so happen to be in Whitstable at stupid o'clock of a Saturday morning live.
So who's with me?
Or do I have to clatter down the steps on my own, the sound of clinking glasses, laughter and rustling pertex in my ears as I question my sanity while those above are well beyond interrogating theirs?
I have a route planned, the majority of which I've ridden before (the first few miles after Faversham will be new to me as the last time I attempted this my GPS caught something off of Aperitif's and fell in love with the A2). It's a sheltered route keeping out of the wind. Picturesque, with a fair few views an' a bit of history. It will also keep the body temperature up with a decent amount of climbing. The route is overwhelmingly quiet roads until picking up the A21 on the run in to Bromley. There is a more than decent pub after 25miles or 40km at The Black Horse Inn at Thurnham on the Pilgrims' Way and Maidstone should cater for anything else that may be required. Should there be a need to bail the route also passes close to several rail stations once past Maidstone. I'm up for finding alternative routes into London as Green Street Green isn't the most auspicious entry to a metropolis that I've ever come across and other routes further north or south might suit others, I'm also up for taking an entirely different route if there is, for example, a route one consensus. Or it might happen that possibibly just sittin' on the Waterfront deck, gently rustling in the breeze integrating my thingummy... wotsit... is all that I'm good for.

will be the difference between 'gone' and 'I can just see him'
