This is a day ride which follows the fnrttc route to southend starting off from the tower of london at 9am and reaching southend at between 1-2pm we'll be riding at an easy pace distance is roughly 52 miles.

I'll be doing a rec on mon 27 july to check for food stops.

If you want an early start you can come via my house and pick me up!

Only a short detour to folkestone. :wacko:

I may be up for this one. I've got to get the miles in on my new bike to justify the expense.

I'll confirm a little closer to the time.

Sounds good to me! Ill check my diary!

I'll tell you what it will say Davy:

Works pi$$ up - sorry can't come...
Mate's pi$$ up - sorry, would love to come but can't get back in time...
Wedding - ditto...
Leaving do - ditto...
Beer festival - likewise...
My back wheel is squirming under the stress of it all pringled and...
Waiting for a spare element for my sandwich maker - can't make it...
Going for an enema - but with friends like you, who needs enemas...I'm in - until it's out. ;)

Sounds interesting, TC1, although getting to London for 9am will be a monumental challenge. Train from Manningtree at that time (which won't allow my bike anyway!) would be £41.50.
 
Ride it Auntie! Assured 'status' awaits your effort there and back. ;)

No problem getting back, my folks live in Saafend and could give me a lift home.

Not too sure how to get there for 9am though.

I don't need to increase my status anyway. I said to User10571 that I was planning on driving to Dunwich for the next Dynamo and giving sandwiches/food etc to CycleChatters and other familiar peeps who I saw after the race. He said, "that would make you even more popular than you are now." Smooth chap!

HAHAHA!! I just giggled reading this while in a meeting! Had to style it out! hehehe!

Okay, diary is free... :evil:

However, the back wheel/cleats/beer gut are still an issue! Along with a re-wire/re-alinging/new chain/new tyres that needs to be done... :ohmy:
