Hi all,
Have just booked some more train tickets......
Saturday 24th October
Hull to Kings Cross (fancy a change from St Pancras) arrive 08:04
Depart Kings Cross 20:00
Just short of 12 lovely hours to fit in a nice ride "Park(s) and Ride" ????
Sunset on this day, for London, is at 5.48pm, the clocks actually go back at midnight or is it 1am on Saturday night so this will be the last day of the year before you lose that hour.
Without too much delay, extended coffee stops, wheel breakage stops and the like we could ride out on Luke's route to Windsor via some nice London parks or we could head up to the Chilterns (Teef's idea). At some point it would be nice to be in the Windsor Park for the sunset, then we can hit the pub again, hopefully everyone this time, and then I could catch the fast train to Paddington (30 mins) so at a push might leave Windsor at 7pm, just checked and the trains from central station run every 30 mins and take 30 mins to Paddington, so it should all work out just right or something like that
Will probably need to re-title this at some point from informal rides query to whatever snazzy title be-fits are autumnal ride....
By the way when were all sat at the pub congratulating the person who kicked this all off it's ttcycle this time....
Bye for now all,
Mike.
