I'm still in Frank... though confess I'm interested in those short cuts you mention, plus any handy train stations after lunch.

Thanks

Short cuts to follow but there is a very easy return by train option which involves turning right after the pub and rolling downhill to Princes Risborough station, instead of turning left, up the biggest climb of the day!

Yes, the placement of that hill is persuasive, though I'm hoping to be good for more miles than I'd get if I bail at that point. I'll just see how things go on the day. Looking forward to it!

When did we start letting people bail from the Ride for Food???

 

[topcat1]

that would be january

 

[martint235]

that would be january

Oh ok then. So long as there's a precedent!

Edit: I haven't started a couple but I've never bailed

 

[topcat1]

[MisterTea]

Please re-add me to the list of people meeting at Gerrards Cross. Ta

 

[frank9755]

I'm afraid

Of the consequences of disobeying the grown-up?

 

[rb58]

Sorry Frank, but I'm not going to be able make this now. My son has decided come home from Uni for that weekend, so I can hardly take off for what will be a very long day. Sorry.

Looks like Kev and I will be joining you for part of the ride if that is Ok? Simon will not be with us this time as he has broken his collar bone and will be off the bike for 3 months. We plan on meeting you at the coffee stop, then doing the loop part with you before leaving for home when we get back to somewhere close to the coffee stop.

 

[frank9755]

Excellent, Steve.
Only thing is we're not stopping for coffee now. Seems to work best if we just crack on. Tweaked route to follow then we can work out where / when to meet, eg great missenden.
