November ride for food - the Chilterns, Saturday 19th November

[Trickydicky]

You put whiteleaf in!

 

[CharlieB]

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?

 

[Becs]

I might join you at Gerrards cross too if the chiltern trains are running.

Please do, both of you!

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

 

[velovoice]

Yes, please, Frank - at least til lunch/tea stop if my knee starts to complain.

Cheers

Frank
If I can get to HPC on time then yes please. Will probably head back home after lunch.

'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

 

[AideyM]

I would love to join up at Gerrards Cross and do 50 miles with you if this is ok

Whiteleaf is slightly longer and slightly steeper than Chinnor Hill.

Sorry!

 

[Tynan]

yuk yuk

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

heaven knows Chinoor seemed endless and heartbreakingly steep at the time

 

[MisterTea]

If there is still space then please add one more for the Garrards Cross meet point. Cheers

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.
