Tour of Hampshire CC Ride - 4th April

[Peter]

and those two don't count because Fleet and F'bro are really bits of Surrey that have wandered off and got lost.

Now, now....

Jeez, if I was part of the 'hope' of Hampshire then that county would be in a bad way..............MEDIC!!!!!!!!!

Morning all. Just been alerted to this thread by ilovebikes. Does anyone have the the distances to hand, including the ride out from London?

Cheers!

Excellent.

I'd be ~11 miles home (BR2) to Clapham, +40, +40, +20, + 28 miles back home again.
Hmmm... a touch under 140 miles round trip, 224km...

That sounds doable. I'll have a word with the local contingent and see if I can ride out to you with them. I've got to get a 300km ride in in the next few weeks, and this could be a perfect way to start it.

Where are you coming from? Hayes, Bromley or Kent

If it's Hayes you can go straight to Staines station and meet the CC Centurions there or you can meet me, Daveywalnuts and possible Aperitif near Bedfont before heading to Staines.

edit: Just seen you last post. Looks as if we have another pace man.

MacB - looking at the last few posts from 'the Londons' I think we'll be appearing in the Hampshire Chronicle under a headline that has the word 'shame' somewhere in it.

All of the above. Hayes is a village in the town of Bromley, in Kent.

Its often confused with Hayes, Middlesex, which makes a drunken train ride home from London quite fun.

Oddly, google insists that 'Hayes Middlesex' is in Jamaica, so its not just us

Now that would be a long way to ride

Andy - allowing 45 minutes from Hyde Park Corner to walnutland would be plenty. En route you could pick up redjedi at Brentford and together scent the countryside aromas of Hounslow and Sam's Chicken, McDeadones, Stavros' all night breakfasts etc as you wended your way westward...

 

[MacB]

Is it only me or are others, of the 'Hampshire Posse', feeling concerns re the London lots ability to get this co-ordinated?

Bollo, no shame mate, even if misdirection and sabotage need to be resorted to!

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

It is nearer to London than to me! I am Fareham way. £18 train ticket to Fleet - not student friendly!

Any gosport/fareham/portsmouth lot cycling up there? Might tag along to make this into a monster miler...... or even cycle up there and then head home at the most southern point of the journey.

I'll go sit under a tree and do some thinking.

oh god am I tempted.....

ah crap I can't!!

promised to take my dad paintballing for his birthday.

Oh the woe of it - Perhaps there will be a tour of the Real Hampshire sometime?

I think a South coast ride would be nice in the summer.
Brighton to Southampton is a good 60 miler?
