England : Kent Spring Ride -The Harbours of Kent - Saturday 6th May 2017

[User10571]

Over 4 metres deep on to days high tide from where the photo was taken. (5.2m high tide , photo point 0.6 M above chart datum ! )

Or a shocking misinterpretation of the nautical chart on my part....
Don't let me anywhere near a boat.
'See how close you can get to that iceberg / Isola del Gigolo' (see also Costa Concordia), and all that.

The more the merrier.

I would like to put my name down for thisplease

 

[lilolee]

Thought I had better come out of hiding.

Doing fine, just not much cycling, but this looks ideal as I have a friend with a place in Margate.

 

[lilolee]

Can't, I'm down your way at Love Supreme the same weekend. I really will try to get out and see you all. Maybe Whitstable.

 

[Lavender Rose]

I am still super pumped for this

 

[Salty seadog]

Need to try and get the day off work for this one. Not always easy unfortunately.

And me

I dunno why, but without having ever met you I have, what can only be described as an irrational expectation, that you will look just like your avatar - sashes, Muammar Gaddafi stylee epaulettes, double breasted lycra - the works.
Anything less will conjure disappointment.
I will, of course, be the cyclist who looks like an 865g jar of pickled dill cucumber - just to keep the playing field level.

I hope @Fab Foodie wears "the hat!"

I like the cut of your jib, Sir!
I actually thought we'd met on the July 2009 FNRttC genteel ride to Brighton, but having truffled through the relevant thread it appears not. Although having seen photographic evidence of the state of me at the top of Mont Ditchling I could have met God, Buddha and the Tooth Fairy and been none the wiser.
I'm sure I could rock the Bombardier look, but be more prepared for a somewhat rounded grey-haired bloke on a Ribble. Or a Brompton M12R. The possibility of a London Pride top cannot be entirely ruled out, or, indeed, in.
