Better late than never, welcome, you will enjoy the ride.

Ooooooo - less of the 'enjoyable', Paulus! Not sure if Louise will be able to last the distance...

 

[Christophe]

Yes please Simon.

Dellzegg, you may find it useful to recce the ride between Hyde Park Corner and Birdcage Walk as they have just sealed off Constitution Hill and 'Birthday Cake' in preperation for the Jubilee. May have to travel round the south of Buckingham Palace via Grosvenor Place or take a whole new route along Piccadilly and head down Pall Mall to the Mall and Horse Guards Approach?

They are currently sealing off parts of Bromley for Betty's visit in the morning. Police and Streetcleaning vehicles everywhere. Must be costing a fortune and folks trying to get to work together can give up on buses (diverted) or using the car parks (without being 'registered'). Cyclists will need to bunnyhop the 3ft barriers.

That woman is a real menace. She don't pay road tax and I bet they drive her through the red lights ... but then how else can you get the gutters swept these days?

Crowds are gathering as I write, full of happiness and expectation...

"Less majesty"

Meanwhile, in another part of town...

"Damn it! I spend time befriending one of London's finest and he can't do better than to tell me that the most attractive part of the ride is fubared.And what's the sign for a missile going to be, when I give the safety talk?"

 

[clivedb]

Would you add me to the list please, Simon?

It's been reported (anonymously) to TfL as "unregistered roadworks blocking the road". I went down there yesterday morning and had to cut (illegally) through Green Park because no-one had thought to sign a bike route diversion. The joggers were not happy.

I can't make this ride but might schlep up to LMNH for breakfast on the Saturday if anyone will be heading that way afterwards?

The cafe in Whitstable serves beer and has a balcony overlooking the sea. Not sure if people will make it to LMNH

That's fair enough, not sure I'd want to move from somewhere with a view like that.
