A few people have asked (on thread or via PM) about a where the 'Ride Out' starts from. Speaking personally, I have to admit I find the logistics of organising an official ride out a bit of a nightmare as I struggle to commit to being at a particular place at a particular time in the (usually) frantic rush to get away from work/home. I reckon the only reason I'm able to consistently arrive on time is because I generally only have myself to worry about and there is zero faffage!
Also, the routes out are often the stuff of nightmares. You usually have to take a quickish route and the traffic is normally fairly horrendous, with drivers in foul moods - all desperate to get home asap. It's not really optimum conditions for group riding If I'm honest.
Having said this - if it's the difference between someone riding and not riding, I'll be aiming to hit the junction of Lordship Lane and Green Lanes (opposite Wood Green Tube) @ about 18:30...*
