2014-06-22 - Ladies-in-Waiting: a royal ride to Windsor

What time is this leaving tomorrow?

op says 10, I think. Are you in? I am (now).

Hope you all have a lovely ride tomorrow! Sorry to miss it. Maybe I'll make one next month!

Sorry for being blind.. Not at a computer. I'm in now too ;-)

10am, Buckingham Palace (directly facing the palace), hopefully there are no events going on outside Buck House as there always seem to be when I go by there at the weekends...

My number is oh779three5455three2 if you need to get hold of me.

if we want a chilled out route to richmond, howard has sussed this one out. It's all quiet roads.

I'm at the fountain, facing the palace, lots of tourists about.

Hope you had a good ride, sorry to have missed it!

Great day out ladies.
Nice pace, great weather and lovely company.
Moar pls.

Thanks all for being such great company, I had a really good day. Thanks DC for also garmining and thanks T4 for the amazeballs cupcakes!

I still maintain we could have stolen the tiny little horse...

Next up, kayak ride?

yay for kayak ride! thanks again hats for putting together the ride and it was such a lovely day with everyone =)

Please can I ask a daft question? What sort of speed were you going yesterday? Will give me an idea as to how much more I need to work before I can join you. Thanks.

Totally stole your route hats! Rode it out and back yesterday and it was awesome! Ta!

Overall strava speed was 13mph ish, though the speed we were generally cycling at was about 16mph.

What's this about a kayak ride??

Well, it turns out Blowfish is a seakayaker and on the train we started talking about kayaking and how we should totally all go and it all kind of went from there. And I knew you'd be up for it, what with your own kayak and all that!!

Glad you liked it, I hope the big gate with the kissing gate/cyclist button wasn't too confusing!

One way a gate opened for us all on it's own!!

Totally up for a kayak ride.

Amazing. I'm not On Here/about much atm due to assorted life stuff but I'm going to have a think about this - maybe a ride to Bewl Water where we can then go paddling??

you can do kayaking & canoe lessons at Surrey Docks watersports centre too which obviously has the appeal of Decathlon near by but not so much of a ride, eh? :D
