Friday Night Ride To Whitstable. 19th Aug 2016

[EltonFrog]

Thanks. Knowing your famous hollow legs, you'll still get value for money!

My thoughts exactly.....

Dagnabbit! I better bring some money then.

I'm doing a further recce tonight and may look at the moonlit canal path. The surface isn't the best, but it will avoid the multiple sets of temporary traffic lights that Gravesend is plagued with at the moment.
Watch this space

I like the canal path. I've done it a few times both during the day and at night, and it's always a nice little meander.

Alternatively, you can always bypass the town centre and use the B261 Old Road West/East which is fun.

Adam, great minds think alike. I have recced both routes tonight. The canal path is much nicer and of course you get river views and frogs and the scent of buddleia. Plus the Surface is much improved since the last ride I did on it. It's mainly very rideable, but parts are no worse than Belgian pave.

We could always try an experiment involving Stu and 50 hard boilled eggs.

I believe I'll take a piece of that action.

Fingers crossed for you all that the Met Office has the timing right.

Is there a list somewhere...?
It's always fun to see who's riding.

The SMRbtH will be character building I think

The email that arrived this morning asks us to notify @Trickedem of any withdrawals by 20th April, so there's loads of time to make our minds up .

The glories of cut and paste at early o'clock. And well done for reading my email. I'm sure many don't!

No, I think you've missed the deadline there.

I hope it doesn't affect my train ride home after post ride beers

Due to a family bereavement on my wife's side I'm having to pull out of this one. I've donated what would have been my food fee via the charity checkout on the step and learn website.
