London to Ramsgate 2nd Jan

[dellzeqq]

a decent-paced schlep if anybody's interested. Start about 7 or 7.30. Weather looks cold but fine.

That rules me out then. Have a good one.

Sorry would have loved to but already off to the jam factory in Essex

Ramsgate - home of the replica Daily Mail Viking boat and a disused hovercraft landing area.

Count me in. I'm assuming a HPC departure?

I'd like to come - although what is meant by a decent paced schlep?

I am not good at fast...

Not really. I'd go through Greenwich - would that be ok for you?

Miss TF - about 15/16mph on the flat. One stop, possibly at Sittingbourne Tesco's (we really know how to live life) or Faversham. If we get through Greenwich at 8 we'll get to Ramsgate at about 3. Some hills, including Shooters Hill, a climb from Greenwich, a really horrible long drag at Dunkirk, traffic east of Rochester (unless I risk everybody's liberty by going through the Medway Tunnel), traffic in Canterbury, tea and cakes overlooking Ramsgate harbour. I'll endeavour to call you later.

User10571 the All-Wise has just texted me to say that there is a bus replacement service from Ramsgate to Minster, which is a six mile haul from Ramsgate - so we're looking at about 85 miles from HPC. Alternatively we could just ride to Minster - because the roadworks west of Ramsgate make any kind of recce worthless. It would be a shame to miss out on Ramsgate, though. What it lacks in charm it makes up for in old people.

No problem - I can be at Greenwich/Cutty Sark just before 8 am.

Might join you for the Sittingbourne to Ramsgate/Minster section as I am housesitting just outside Sittingbourne. Only problem is the only bike I have access to is the 'Pink and Green' Lady. Let me know what you think and what time you think you will be in Sittingbourne.

Just to confirm, is Greenwich at 8am an intermediate or main rendez-vous ?
