Reading CTC Midnight ride to Lymington 20th September 2013

[dellzeqq]

What time are you and AH planning on pitching up there @dellzeqq?

about a quarter to midnight

 

[dellzeqq]

That's Southampton Waters not the river Test

great. See you there.

It's been too long since I sampled the nocturnal delights of a trundle to the coast, I've signed up for this one and very much looking forward to it

 

[Tim Hall]

So, it's looking like I'll be on this one. What's the deal for getting back home? Group save goodness to Clapham and then scatter to the four winds? Or have people got all clever and placed a bet on an Advanced ticket?

It's little snippits like that that make my day.

We have now 25 on the ride and if the weather remains as forecast I don't anticipate that will go down.

Also we will now be passing Reading station on the south side by the Three Guineas pub if anyone requires it or is running late.

@dellzeqq, I reckon we could be on the same train to the start, assuming you're schlepping down from Clapham.

Q: Fixed or gears? (the bike that is, not the train)

I reckon gears. There are some long drags, and a couple of short, sharp rises. I think we'll catch the 22,28 from Clapham Junction, arriving Reading 23.40

 

[StuAff]

Gears, definitely. I haven't ridden this route before, but the bits of it I know certainly aren't flat.

 

[dellzeqq]

I've no idea why this is relevant to the night ride, but I thought I'd post it anyway

Is there an anniversary of some sort in the air?

Nah, they are meeting srw on the steps of the Clapham Junction Hotel for a threesome tonight ... Dell was hoping for four - the greedy bu**er!

every day's an anniversary

CORRECTION. We'll be taking the 21.58 from Clapham Junction, arriving 23.10

Weather's looking rather better than last week....
