FNRttC Friday Night Ride to the Coast - Southend on Sea June 29th - the Genteel Ride

[Davywalnuts]

Assumes you're not thinking of dropping your Dieppe drinking buddy into this one!!!

Of course not... I meant any puncture'ers...

 

[StuartG]

Digging? There is presumably special rolling stock for that

No mice were hurt in the taking of this picture ...

 

[mmmmartin]

Will Charlie B achieve his dream of this becoming an origami ride - on folders? If so, i might dig out the Airnimal

I am still dithering, torn between my desire to ride and the responsibility to actually be at home once in a while.

Give in to your desire........................ you know you want to. Besides you'll be home on Saturday!

lol... I was thinking that you were missing from the list

 

[ianrauk]

Can I go on the list? I've sent an email and everything.

Only if you bring the orange feet bags?

 

[ianrauk]

Not with a Brompton surely.

Dependent on the Brompton's colour surely

if one was to attempt one's first RbtH, would one have company? And what sort of time would one be looking at getting back to SE London if so? (may have to get home, change and help out at the boy's school summer fete)

We usually try to leave before 9am.
It's non stop to Dartford for those that are Saaarf of the river. About 25 miles.
It all depends on how long one has to wait for the Dartford Crossing to take.
It's usually anything from 15 mins to up to an hour
Where bouts you got to get back to?.

 

[ceepeebee]

Crystal Palace (which it just took me 5 goes to spell for some reason)

Then yep, to Dartford, Dartford Crossing then on to Bromley... where I am.
Also have to factor in how many people want to cross. If more then 3 then people have to wait as they don;t use the trailer anymore rather then the bike rack which only takes 3 bikes.

It's at least 2.5 hours from Southend to Welling. The earliest I've been home is 12.15 and I believe I'm still seeking forgiveness from Mr Arallsopp for the pace set on that one. I'd look at around 2ish to be safe for Crystal Palace.
