Glad you can make this ride ,Salty. Again ,apologies to those I left out ! -And those just included !

 

[sotkayak]

The ones where I've ate and would do so again are
The Waterfront Club in Whitstable - probably a bit early for this ride.
West Bay Cafe at Westgate - very good lasagna
Margate - you are spoilt for choice.
Broadstairs - the cafe by the crazy golf on the west side of the town - excellent bacon sarnies.
Ramsgate - Miles bar or Peter's Fish Factory

This could turn out to be a five food stop trip...
Coffee ,Burger and doughnut cabin next to the Whitstable Yacht Club normally opens at 8am (ride begins at 11 am ! !
Herne Bay - plenty of places ,
Reculver -a caff and the King Ethelbert pub
Minnis Bay several places
then User10571s listings plus the Captain Digby......

 

[sotkayak]

Food /coffee stops...
Some may elect to bring their own eats and drinks - West Bay Caff on the promenade/seawall may be a good 1st (or second !) stop as there is both public seating and caff seating in close proximity...Any thoughts or comment ,Ladies and Gentlemen ?

 

[Hill Wimp]

All sounds perfect to me

 

[Nigel182]

As above sounds like a Plan

 

[Diggs]

Looking forward to it, although this weekend is looking increasingly busy for me. I will be watching the schedule closely

Is that one of those 'Get the tide wrong and it will kill you to death' places?
Trying to work out who I know for this ride. FF and Hillwimp, and Hopless and TMN, but not sure about anyone else...

we will shake hands.

I am going to be sooooo sloooowwwww.
Can you paint a line or roll out a string line for me please!

Get three inner tubes. Link them together and attach one end to your head tube and the other over the saddle of a likely looking candidate.

I seem to remember that The Richmond Park Hell Riders perfected this technique.

I can't see that going horribly wrong at all
