Lanes and Fens ride 29th October . . . .

[redflightuk]

I might do this as a ride there and back - it makes far more sense than faffing around with trains doesn't it?

Red and weather permitting i'll do the same as Martin.

Excellent. If people that are cycling out don't want to come all the way to the station we could meet you at Balsham if that's any easier?

Haven't been on any rides with the CycleChat crowd, but thought I'd tag along on this one if that's OK, as it's local-ish.
If you don't mind the possibility of me cutting out if gets a bit much and my average pace of about 12 mph, then fine.
Really given a good impression of myself as Mr Fitness there I think

may well do the same. It makes more sense for me to start at Cambridge and then cut off at Gazeley to head back to Bury. will have to sort out my diary but would love to do it.

Is there any protocol to the forum rides? this would be my first.

Becs would probably say "It's your round!" I. however, would be far too dignified to say such a thing.

Haha! No protocol. Just check here before you leave in case I have to cancel it, and likewise let me know if you're not coming so we don't wait for ages! Might be a good idea if we swap numbers via PM in case of train delays, mechanicals etc. We'll go the speed of the slowest rider so bring lights just in case! I need everyone to confirm by weds 26th so the pub is ready for us!

No probs. It's an easy route with many bailout points and a big group to carry you along so you'll be fine. Just let me know for definite by the 26th. Where are you coming from?

I'll be on the 9.15 from Kings Cross if anyone wants to meet there - we'll have to spread out along the train but reservations aren't needed and they are usually very bike friendly. I'm not sure what time we'll finish but I'd bring lights in case the fairy visits/we decide to stay for a few beers afterwards!

I was going to declare my interest too as I used to live in those parts, know the route but haven't ridden it for a few years so it would be good to do it again with company. Looks like you have big numbers though, maybe a problem with the food stop?

Shouldn't be a problem on a Saturday. One of the reasons why I wanted to stick with the pub at withersfield was that they frequently feed a lot of cyclists as a local group use them a lot. I made a provisional booking for 15 that can be adjusted on the wednesday before - I'm sure they'd prefer it if we ordered sandwiches/ploughmans or jacket potatoes rather than steaks though!

Thank you, I'll bring a banana though just in case. Look forward to seeing everyone unless the weather is atrocious. I will be riding a bit before I get to you so it might be an idea to swap numbers, pm on its way.

Coming from Cheshunt so will get the train up to Cambridge/
PM with number on the way

Becs, I've been keeping an eye on this but just realised I haven't posted- was thinking about coming but going abroad in November so going to be a bit of a busy time so ducking out.

Have a good ride - will see you on one soon!

Now can't make this. Sorry I've been over ruled.
