I'm in. Mind you, I'm gonna kill someone if it p155es down and the 20th is glorious sunshine.

I hate to name names but it was Ian who moved the date.

RIght - I have put my leave request in for Weds 19th, so no more changing the date!

Oops did we not mention it was back to Thursday? only kidding

 

[gbs]

I'm up for this on whichever day!

 

[Sittingduck]

Bumping, as it's getting close now...

Just checking this is still on and timings for the start etc? I may join as you go through Richmond Park, as it's very close to me and I have no real desire to ride into town to retrace my steps again, if this is ok? Happy to join the line as you enter at Roehampton or indeed at the top of Sawyers Hill, just before Richmond gate. If it's problematic though, I can ride to Admiralty Arch HPC...

Cheers

As far as I know, it's still a 9am start at HPC rather than Admiralty arch. Anyone got the route?

 

[Sittingduck]

I can dig it out, if it's the same one we did last year... although the hill we were referring to as 'Shere' isn't really in Shere (confusingly) and was not on tthe actual ORR route. I think they turned left and cut out Newlands corner... let me have a look and come back with a suggested?

 

[ianrauk]

I'm not going to make this i'm afraid. Little one is ill and I have to look after him tomorrow. Sorry chaps.

 

[Sittingduck]

Sorry to hear that, Ian. Get well soon, to the nipper!!

Right - had a look to confirm and know exactly where I am going. Turn left at Staple Ln, East Clandon, (just before the left we used in the past) and follow it up to Coombe Ln, turn right and from there... it's gravy, all the way to the Zig Zags. Do you need me to create a GPS file?

 

[ianrauk]

do a search of 'Olympic' on CC & Informal rides. That will bring up the previous threads with the route.

On another note. Myself and Tim Decker did Box Hill 3 times yesterday. The tarmac is lovely. Though they have now thrown down a few sleeping policemen.

 

[Sittingduck]

Annoying isn't it... it was so nice for those few weeks when the bumps were removed and they plonked them back on! At least the graffiti has remained

 

[martint235]

This is Wednesday isn't it? Not tomorrow?

Ant, so long as you know where you're going I'm happy to just follow you.

 

[Sittingduck]

Okies... I will make a GPS anyway!

And Yes - Weds 19th
