I think I will make this ride so will get the train to Liverpool Street to help a damsel in Lycra up the stairs with her 3 wheeled carriage.
You are a star, Steve!

Do you know the way from Liverpool Street to Tower Bridge?

The route goes past my parents' house in Little Thurrock. Literally. They live in The Willows.

We'll swing by and say hello!

I won't give advance notice to them otherwise they will go into parent mode and lay on a feast, which will last for seven days and seven nights.

If Davywalnuts, steve and self ride along, we'll be on our way in half an hour...bring on the vegetable samosas and the pakooras... I'm a bit partial to home made burfee also User - make a note~Ta! :smile:

Could you not go direct to the party Davy? Surely there will be plenty of scrubbers that would help you prepare your finely honed body 'in situ'?
As part of your 'on the route makeover', when we pull in for carbofatdrates etc, my Topeak Lipopump could give you 'fab abs' with little effort. A nick in the flesh, reverse the valve, insert the tube and pull on the pump! Bingo. Instant fitness!

Anyway - you'll be back in town at 03:00 ish - it's all academic...;)

Oh, plenty of scrubbers! hehehe!

A Topeak Lipopump!! my god, that would be awesome... imagine you got a puncture and had no spare inner tube. All you do is suck the fat out of ones fat store and pump it straight into the "holy" tube! With all the kebabs and saturated fat I enduldge in, the hole will be blocked in no time! Jobs a gooden!! Lets copyright it! hehehe!

3 am sounds good to me... kebab shop will still be open and all the floozies will be drunk, happy days!

Does your train home go via Liverpool Street or a more direct route?
I was looking at booking my train ticket and it is cheaper to get a return from Hertford to Saarfend than a single Hertford to liverpool street then Saarfend to Liverpool Street :wacko:

If you are not taking the train home I will probably ride home from Saarfend.

Train goes to Shenfield, whereupon the two lines merge and I can hop on a train to Colchester.

I had vaguely toyed with cycling some/all of the way back - Southend to home is only 50ish miles. However James is away so the dog will be all alone so I may end up not doing that. If ChrisKH is going and cycling home, I could go part of the way with him/you maybe. I suppose I could even cycle to Shenfield, if that's where you're going (which I think you might be) or Chelmsford... will have to see how it goes.

Ok I will just get a single to Liverpool Street and worry about the return at the time. Could you book some nice sunshine and no wind please.
