FNRttC London to Shoreham Friday 2nd June 2017

Dare I say it, but the Met Office forecast is reasonably kind.

Halfway should be OK, as it is a scout hut in its own grounds. The airport at the end is more public, the bikes will be outside and not necessarily in line of sight. As public places go, I guess that it is lower risk than many but I will be locking up whichever of my bikes I have.

+1 Exactly my take on the situation at the airport. Even if in your line of sight from inside, there are several doors and steps to negotiate if you saw someone taking an undue interest in your bike. It'd be long gone before you could get there.

Even though at 8am on a Saturday at Shoreham Airport with not even any plane spotters around, as mentioned above, it would always be sensible to have a small cable lock.

Anyone planning to get to London early on Friday evening might want to think about some waterproofs. Still nice big temperatures though.

A late rush. 73 now signed up. Final email just sent to everyone.

Judging by tonight, and the last couple of Friday nights, I'll almost certainly be on the 2208 train into Waterloo rather than the 2138- so arriving 2323. No doubt the unusual suspects will be waiting under the arch.....

Anyone meeting up at Victoria? (I shall be arriving at 11.00ish depending on Southern Fail's efficiency).
And interested in a ceremonial ride to HPC?

 

[GrumpyGregry]

I'll be coming through Victoria, but won't be going to HPC now we don't have to . I rely on @User to act as guide to the new start, although I am gradually getting the hang of it (it's complicated by road closures atm).

This. I need a guide to the new start from Victoria if poss... What time?

Stunning early morning sunrise currently at Shoreham Airport on their live web cam.

Of course, anyone looking at this later, will see brighter skies!

 

[Flying Dodo]

Three? Blimey!

Unfortunately one of the Stu's has dropped out.

A few other people have registered last minute though!

Weather looking OK.
Looking forward to it, esp that lane after the Edifice.

 

[velovoice]

However, yr.no is suggesting rain around 2am. I will bring 'insurance' as per @User.

Meet usual place opposite Platform 12, Victoria around 23:20 (I'll be arriving on the London Bridge train) for the loop up to HPC, down to Buck House and across Parliament Square - unless its wet in which case I'll be going direct.

I'll aim to get to the Wellington Arch for 2330 - hopefully I'll catch you there.

I haven't done a FNRTTC starting from the Southbank before. Out of interest does the route cross the river or stick to the South now? I always like to cycle across the river when I am up in the smoke so may have to do a quick loop before the start if not.
