?:??AM What ever time you have to leave to get to one of the start points
8:00AM Kings Cross.
8:45ishAM Palmers Green.
9:00AM from Stevenage train station.
9:30AM from Watton at Stone sports hall.
10:00AM from the Rose Cafe Hertford. This is the official start time and point. But we may have to wait for the late commers for a few minutes.

So we won't be letting you read the map then

Don't worry Marinyork, we'll meet you at Palmers Green, and I hope you've removed that ugly piece of plastic from your rear wheel.
If not you may have to follow at a distance

marinyork said:Good. Anyone an idea for a route from Sudbury Town to Palmer's Green. I had a look at the A406 northern circular and it was 30,40, 50 limits, at rush hour.
You need some coaching from User3143 Paul, he popped around the North Circ. on his trike...but he was up to speed (and woe betide anyone who dared nudge him).
The ave speed of the North Circ at rush hour is approx. 0.9 mph.
Where are you staying in Sudbury Town anyway?
More realistically ...
King's Cross for 8, say 8:30/8:45 (they won't mind a little wait). Leave home at 8(ish) I can make up the time. Wake up at 7:40. Bed at, erm, well there’s some live Rugby from Fiji at 3am, so sometime after that. Only drink beer the day before.
Just have to forget to set the alarm, fail to fettle the bike(s), wait for shorts to come out of the wash ... & think of any other excuse.
Job done!
Look forward to seeing you on the ride

I'm staying at the crossroads of the A4090 and the A4127 which is a couple of hundred metres from Sudbury Hill Tube and Railway stations.
The A406 is about the most direct route without being complicated so I will probably use it at some point.

marin to Hertford...via little Switzerland
You are staying in Whitton Ave. Got friends there? It is just along from where I used to play rugby and I lived not far from there once upon a time...
You'll notice the dog-leg. There are a lot of odd/busy junctions if you are trying to traverse the 'hypoteneuse of that triangle. The A5 is rough but straight!
I'm supposed to be working on this day but I live about 20 mins ride away from your start point - otherwise I would get across to accompany you.

All right. Thank you for the route I think I'll be using the first bit of that whatever. Yes I'm staying with some people who I know. Might come in useful for a future FNRttc ride or more likely a weekend ride somewhere down there. Makes it a bit more flexible about what you can and can't do - especially in winter.
