Winchester to London (Again) 25th August 2012

[rb58]

hi all

Martin has used his legendary powers of persuasion to suggest to me that i ought to join you for the outward and inward legs of this ride. (despite no longer sharing the same office, he's been using the old tactic of impugning my masculinity and calling me chicken until I agree)

So if it's OK with you all, I'll see you at HPC at 12:00 on Friday.

Look forward to seeing you chaps again.

Mark

Nice one Mark. See you there.

Great stuff, I was cycling on the A30 yesterday daytime.

I look forward to reading the reports as planning to do part of this route from A30 down to Winchester when I have more miles in my legs and lungs and probably in the day rather than night.

Have a good ride!

In fact, was planning to do this route on Sunay with CoG et al but there's too few of us to get the most out of a good draft and I don't think my legs are able to handle the rolling terrain until I get a bit fitter.

Depending on the time you are thinking off, Ill be your draft, till say about Camberley... if you're interested...

Expect to join you at Winchester Station, but will be peeling off at Arlesford as will be out celebrating my daughter's GCSE results Saturday lunchtime.
Seven A*, three A, one B

Right, very, very, very final route to Winchester. I'm not changing it again. However on the night if any rider has a better way of getting out to the A30 I'm happy to follow them.

I've just looked over this.. I am wondering why you wish to attempt a suicide bid by using the A4 Cromwell Road to Chiswick and also your variation through Staines... *shakes head*.... Would you like me to lead you out to Egham Friday night?

I shall be following Martin. It sounds like he'd do well to follow you. Can you promise a kebab?

My local kebabay, with seating and toilet, will be open till 3am, so yeh, not a problem... Which is right near my office, with more toilets... then again, at that time of night, the world is our toilet...

But my big worry, is the Cromwell Road, on a Friday night, is suicide....

No it's not!! And anyway 'Teef kindly offered to lead us out to the A30.

 

[rb58]

But does 'Teef know where the kebab shop is?

Probably. Have you seen the size of him?

They do veggie Kebabs?

Fine, be like that.. I do hope you have told swmbo that you plan to ride lelly down a three lane speeding death trap on a Friday night, when you will be surrounded by tipsy drivers and Addison Lee convoys....

It'll be ok!!!

 

[rb58]

It'll be okay if we don't go down the Cromwell Road. I'm following 'Teef or Davy.....!
