Not a Christmas Night Ride to Bognor

ton?

I was promised a cheeky 70 ish

Yup, it's 70 ish down to Bognor. But if I do it, I would then (weather & mood permitting) ride home to Pompey. Another 25 miles or so

By the time you've cycled to the start, done the ride and cycled home from the station (unless you ride all the way) you would have done close to 90 miles. You may as well do a bit more and round it up

go on, talk me into it

lately I've been riding as far as Liverpool Street, the thought of doing my commute only knackered has been too much for me

HPC is oddly enough 15 miles from the house

Can't get the pass for this now if I still want to 'play bikes' with my mates on Sunday morning too - they've been neglected by me recently so I'm going all parochial I'm afraid.

I have been advised that I am "required" to take smallest sprog to his Saturday morning activities. Rules me out I'm afraid.

ride back over the Downs?

two sets of 73 miles is getting into serious mileage for me

plus 10 miles to the start and then to Ipswich second year so kinda 150 miles I guess, fair few FNRttCs

I think I'm good for lots more, finished the last DD in good shape

XCWeather is showing 14mph headwind and temperatures down to minus 8 at 3 am. But that's not the end of it. 9 am the winds are gusting at 37mph from the south, with the temperature just above freezing. We're talking brutal, peeps, brutal.

Metcheck says (much) less windy, but still extremely cold.
