Weather's looking good for this. Might ride up to Guildford & get this month's ton done & dusted...what sort of time are you looking to get there, and any lunch stop planned?
The route is THIS
As its an easy ride aim to have 3 4 stops as we are going through certain places we will stop as such West Barnes, Esher, Cobham and one more if required down the line
I have managed to get a GPX files (one has full turns and instructions) if anyone wants them
The start is scheduled for 1000hrs at Hyde Park leaving for 1030hrs (no later) (road closures won't be till night time 2100hrs)
The trip is 33 miles there so 70 mile round trip
Let me know what you think alterations can be done, (this way i can learn better)
Thanks
Musa
To be honest, 10.30 away is far too late for a decent return home for me.
9am or 9.30am would be better.
Umm mid day 12 is that realistic? Yeh lunch break and teas included
Ok that's not a problems 900hrs meet 915hrs set off
It's a bit piggadeehiggadee. My apologies.

If you're going for a 1030 start, 12 is more than a little unrealistic, allowing for stops. 33 miles in an hour and a half? Might be an easy ride for a pro, but not by most others' standards...
Edit: Now changed as I was typing to 9ish...more sensible I think.
And where's the lunch stop then? Can't drop by if I don't know where it is.

900hrs meet with 915hrs set off from HPC
if we arrive 3 hours so 12/1230 have lunch in Guildford
i have scheduled two stops in esher and cobham 1015 1100 hrs respectiely (subject to time) these will be for quick stock on fluids (tescos express) and a cake/tea stop
time of planned return (london) 1700hrs
if small group avg 12-15mph (if reasonable)
A and B roads with the main road being the A307 couple town riding as we pass through with a short stint on the A3 but this will be an on and off move (off at exit)
stop at chocolate tea pot in esher near the station
Chocolate Teapot
4 Station Rd, Esher, KT10 8DY
Cobham
Cafe Aromas
28 Hollyhedge Rd, Cobham, KT11 3DG
these stops are on the route so should be easier to attend (if i remember)
west barnes is also an optional stops if required
lunch in guildford would be ideal therefore atGallery Cafe
155 High St, Guildford, GU1 3AJ (it is not opened so next door it is)
NB we can change where neccessary but for the plans this is it let me know if a yay or nay

Hi Musa
Can't be sure I'll be along but congrats for going ahead with it.
3 questions.
Do I take it that those stops are definite?
Will you be pausing awhile/taking tea even if no-one is there to meet you?
Is it possible to post a mobile number for you on here?
all the best
