June's ride for food

[ianrauk]

OK, June's ride for food. Saturday 4th June
Plan is leaving HPC at 8.30am (PROMPT

).

Following the Olympic road race route out of London To Walton (taking in Putney, Richmond Park, Bushy Park and Hampton Court riverside). We will then head for Thorpe then turning north to Englefield Green and Runnymead to visit the magnificent Air Force War Memorial. (It's well worth a visit if you haven't been). We will then meet up with Norm who will lead us into, around and through Windsor and other delights, then on to Dorney for lunch (Dorney is where the Olympic Rowing will take place.

Looking at this being an easy paced ride rather then fast. Be nice to take it easy for a change. It will still be about 100 miles or there abouts if one cycles back to HPC. And of course there are plenty of train opt outs if you don't want to cycle back.

Arrrrgghhhhh, its on the day of my birth......

But.... in my neck of the woods....

But I have a lunch(day long) bbq then partying to attend... And am dog sitting on the 3rd (which does mean no hangover in the morning however)....

Hmmmmmmm.....

I think I will join for part, then work out where am stopping to start drinking... Kerrrchhingg!

Out for this one, will be doing the last 60 or so to JOG. Sounds like another route well worth a re-run, though!

 

[HaloJ]

Count me in, please.

Would have liked to come along, not been on a ride for ages, but I have my daughter staying over half term.

Watch out Scotland, the Stuarts are rising! "Big black box seen in hot pursuit of a bike over windswept moorland..."

Sorry? Do we know you?

I'm a possible. It all depends how my birthweek pans out. I'll either be fitter than a fit butcher's very fit dog having spent the week cycling or I will be in the latter stages of terminal liver failure......

Wow - I only get a day!

I'm not sure any more, I'm feeling very left out! (whistling smiley thing wot doesn't work on my phone)

You're obviously doing something wrong. For major years, I get a birthmonth. I can even remember some of my 40th although my 30th has always been a blur.

Who are you calling a box?

 

[StuAff]

OK, I have now changed the time back to 8.30am

Are you sure that will be late enough for certain people?
