England : London Tour of Britain, Saturday 21st Sept

[frank9755]

Who is going to the Surrey stage?

I'm planning on riding out from Ealing (possibly via Windsor to meet up with clubmate, or via Richmond Park if not) to Barhatch Lane - which is the 50km point - then going to one or two places later on to see the riders again, probably having a beer or two, and riding home.
Here's the race route:

It was a great day out last year:

That will be the day after my best mates Wedding day, and so alas, am going to be rotten..

However..

I am marshaling the following day for the London leg.

I'm doing the L2B offroad that goes right through the middle of it, should be fun......

I was planning to but double booked myself with copious amounts of beer and food.

It's going right past my front door so I may summon up the effort to walk up to the end of the drive and watch.

Sounds like triple-booked!

I could be up for that - What time will you be leaving Ealing? I cycled some of the route last week by accident.

I'm also double booked, I'm in Ashford that weekend. I'm going to a gig for the first time in years.

I am planning to see it going up the LLanberis pass on the 18th, which would mean taking a day off work. As I am self employed, my wife doesn't like the idea of not earning money that day!

Probably around 9am.

I think I'm stymied for the Saturday but I shall be on the Embankment somewhere on Sunday. There's a womens race and a 2 man time trial before the main event.

There are now about five of us, meeting at Ealing town hall at 9:15, and picking up three more at Richmond Park (inside Richmond Gate) at 9:45.
Then heading to Barhatch Lane, followed by pub at Puttenham, then either sprint in to Guildford to not see the finish 'cos of crowds, or wait for them to come past again a bit later.
