Tour of Hampshire CC Ride - 4th April

[Davywalnuts]

Am going to do a reccie either tonight or tomorrow for the Staines to Fleet Leg and back, not that I should get lost as its a straight line there, but for times and distances etc.

Should have done this sooner but not been too well past two weeks. (Queue possible sympathy votes.. hehe)

Auntie H, going to miss our tail end charlie chats!

I do not think I will be allowed out to play on Saturday as I was out all day yesterday doing my first Audax and I have luckily realised it is our wedding anniversary. Could have been painful if I had forgot that.

Hey you lot, you're giving the impression that I'm always at the back, a slow cyclist up hills and always chatting!!!

 

[Davywalnuts]

Ild never have thought that.. I wonder where that idea came from!

PS. Well done on the ton! Very jealous! Roll on April!

 

[Auntie Helen]

I haven't done a ton, my day max is 62.5 with Ianrauk and Katie in Kent. I assume you're referring to my thousand miles for March... all done at the back, slowly up hills and yacking the whole time.

 

[Davywalnuts]

hehe, yes, the Vanessa Carlton and Thousand miles jobbie!

Hmmm looked into this, but is possibly the furthest part of hampshire from me Maybe the next one

Oh go on Montage, or is it really too far?

BTW, you SE London lot, can we possibly have a rethink on the Kingston via Richmond route?
Not wanting to be a stick in the mud but wouldn't it be quicker to head down thru
Balham towards Raynes Park to get to Kingston?

Raynes Park - Kingston...Nice hills down that way - Roadrat fodder!

Did wonder if we'd hit hills around Wimbledon?

On the A30 it's roughly 24 miles, which shouldn't take more than 2 hours. When I was fitter it took 1h 20 min

 

[DJ]

I don't mind going that way, your right though Wimbledon is a hill!

I reckon your rat will act as a magnet to my Dawes

You actualy live in the same county as this ride yet you are not coming?!

 

[DJ]

See my Post 117 for route from Clapham to Kingston. It's the fastest, flattest albeit least scenic route. I do it every day each way.

No hills that way.

Ok we will do that then


Just realised !!!! that route you described!!!!! It will take us longer to work it out than to ride it

I'm guessing montage is in the New Forest which will make him further away than many coming from fancy London. Hampshire is secretly vast!



Mon - There's always the train from somewhere like Brockenhurst, get off at Basingstoke and pedal to Fleet to avoid changing trains. Go on! There's only me, Peter and MacB to represent the county, and those two don't count because Fleet and F'bro are really bits of Surrey that have wandered off and got lost.
