Thursday Night Ride to the Coast - Felpham March 28th

[GrumpyGregry]

Bognor to London is the easy bit. But replacing the signals on the Met means that the closest I can get to home is Beaconsfield.

Snooze on train, ride home. You know it makes sense.

Have we ever managed a ride with every letter of the alphabet represented?

we've had a Yoann and a Zsolt, but I can't find any Quentins

I know one and he does ride a bike!

I know. I spotted that this morning.
From south it's useful to remember the 'magic train'* from E Croydon to Berko, avoiding all that Central London faff, Stephen. It's then a lovely ride through the lanes to Chesham, and then a bit further for you.

That's "lovely ride through the lanes" as in "long slog up a steep hill", and "a bit further" as in "another long slog up another steep hill".

I'm almost coming round to the thought that it might not be a terrible idea - please, someone, help me find my sanity.

Ah, the key is to avoid the A416 - fewer hills, less traffic. Only the little bit up Bois Lane is steep.

Hi all, a couple of quick newbie questions;
Firstly, if i'm not feeling up to cycling back to London in the morning, do people just 'join up' and buy group tickets?
Secondly, I have never cycled in London before, I'll need to make my way from either Liverpool St or Kings Cross to Hyde Park - are there any 'nice routes' you can advise me of?
Thanks
Stan

Hi MisterStan

Yes.

One of the experts will be along shortly with a 'nice' route from either of those stations.

Hi Stan and welcome

Adam and I will be coming in from the north to St Pancras station. We can easily meet you at Kings Cross (if that's where you decide to 'land') and ride with you to Hyde Park corner. Feel free to PM me to exchange mobile nos. and agree a time to meet.

If you're coming into Liverpool St instead, hopefully someone else can pitch in to help.

Thanks - I will check train times and get back to you.

It's no problem for me to swing by Liverpool Street if you're coming that way.

I hope they grit the roads...

Won't anybody think of the steel frames?

Being of a selfish nature I'm thinking more of skin abrasion than frame corrosion.
