Very tempting, as it's my neck of the woods.

That's a lovely route, along lanes I know so well, passes my secondary school, and misses the pub I was brought up in by less than a ¼ of a mile (don't even bother asking, it's crap now).

However, there's no way I could get to HPC by 7:30, so could I join you at Gerrards Cross?

Please do, both of you!

We can firm up times when we see how big the group is.

'long steep climb'?

I've been in the Chilterns lost at night once and dind;t much enjoy it, I just got up Chinoor hill, is this 'long steep hill' longer and steeper?

I recall it being called 'a long drag' by the chap that organised the ride

Whiteleaf is slightly longer and slightly steeper than Chinnor Hill.

Sorry!

yuk yuk

but in daylight yeah? and not in point blank fog?

heaven knows Chinoor seemed endless and heartbreakingly steep at the time

It's a bit more complicated than that...
I'll need to confirm nearer the time, but pencil me in please for the mid-section - if you don't mind meeting up somewhere in the Penn-Missenden area.
It sounds like there will be a peleton waiting for you at Gerrards Cross - it feels like a good idea if I join it.

Apologies everyone - I've fallen prey to the curse of trying to organise things too far ahead. I need to change the date to the 19th October November.

I've checked with a few people and it seems to work but hope that those who I've not contacted who want to come can still make it!

Ignore Frank. He's going senile. ;)

19th of November is the new date.
