OK, I'm going with:
Wednesday 9th April
Wednesday 16th April
Wednesday 23rd April
Thursday 1 May
-All rides meet at 7pm for 7.15pm departure from outside the Turkish Food Centre on Bromley Rd (here).
Slightly ridiculous but necessary note: everyone who shops there seems to drive like a lunatic, so don't leave your bike/yourself anywhere where it could get run over, as it probably will. For those who like pre-ride snacks, they sell very good lahmacun/borek/baklava.
-I'll call routes closer to each date so I can strategically plan for tailwinds etc.
-Roads will generally be sururban followed by country lanes followed by pub, so bring good lights. We'll probably come back in on the a21 fairly often, mainly because it's one of my favourite A roads, but it should be fairly quiet by the time we're returning.
-I don't mind what you ride and how fast you ride it (though generally I'll be aiming for around 15mph). No-one will be left behind and if you want to ride off the front that's fine, but please make sure you know where you're going as I am not being held responsible if you get lost in the Ashdown Forest and get eaten by wolves.
-Distance will usually be around the 30-35 mile mark from and back in to the start point.
-Bring money for a pint, and a credit card in case your bike explodes. (It's never happened before, but you never know.)
