Put me down for this, please.

Yesterday I did the Maldon ride with Abs. It's my second 100+ ride of the year and I was quite comfortable doing it, plus it falls within the 14-15mph average of these rides. Stats here:

Slower on the way back because we had a headwind, plus a monsoon with 20 miles to go and rain after that!

It probably helps that I'm 20lb lighter than when I last attempted the Maldon ride in January and 14lbs lighter than the Dover 100 mile ride in May, plus I'm cycling more regularly these days.

It'll be interesting to see how I do this time compared to June when I did it with a 13.5mph average, I was 12lbs heavier then.

Thanks.

The weight loss has still got a fair way to go, which I shall be working on in the coming months. I'm determined to continue to lose it and be slim and fit so I can participate in more CycleChat rides next year.

Gents,

Space for one more?

This ride will be my longest for a while and the first on the new ride, but will be attempting JoG to Le in 3 weeks time or so so would be a good training ride.

I'm pretty average on flats at times doing 16-22 mph but up hill a tad slow

Not sure of the best route from Southgate to HPC thoughts?

Never cycled into central London before!!

You are more then welcome Sapper glad to have you along.
You are on the list.

Cycling in Central London isn't that bad as the traffic is usually all backed up and slow.

I did most of a LeJOG (long story..) in May/June...training started January 1. Depending on how many days you're taking you might be OK anyway. But like you say, time will tell.
