Isle of Grain - Fixed

107 KM Fixed/SS ride out to the Hoo Peninsula

Mainly flat and stress/traffic-free (Greenway, River, Canal and quiet roads).
Road slicks not advised, sections of gravel and God-knows what along route.
Make sure your bike and brain are cool with that.

Quick-social, waiting at non-obvious corners, t-shirts and denim type of ride.

Train home after eats/refreshments.

Fixed/SS only, gears by appointment (PM me).

Meet top of Broadway Market 9:00, leaving sharpish

Trying to squeeze one more fun-fixed ride in this year - if weather terrible I'm staying home.

is that No. 1, The Thames ?

^ yes / nightclub

looks like a cracking ride, shame I'm 300 miles away!

Never been past the M2 motorway bridge (straight East anyways).

Looking forward to this.

Permission requested to wear lycra...?

and a zappi's hat

Sounds fun :)

swhhhheeet! never been there, sounds like fun.

hopefully i can get a seatpost for the single speed...

take a ladder if you want to get in

Actually laughed out loud >> “sections of gravel and God-knows what along route.”

Would love to join but working. My folks live in Upper Stoke so The Isle is very much in my blood. Highly recommend the Tudor Rose in Upnor for celebratory pints.

Nah, it's going to be tramp-cans near the Russian sub.

Hope I can make this. Will we actually get to see the oil refinery? Went there on a school trip (yawn) back in '74

I don't know, total adventure.

will diarise..

same

just diarised,

my (fixed) Charge Plug will have been with me four years to the day, so would be fitting to take it out for a celebratory spin, :-)

soon - ish

Hopefully I can make this, I've not done a decent length ride in ages.

Damn busy that weekend. Could have got the train from rochester and rode back lol. Would have been nice to take the new cinelli for a baptism. Oh well I'll be crawling in mud god knows what else instead.

Fingers crossed for the weather.
Currently looking gooood for Sunday.

Arrive London Fields for 8:30, plenty of time for coffee and pastries prior to 9:00 departure.

Bike I am riding Sunday.

Tomorrow, all looking good.

Don't forget your rain mac's. Weather looks good all day but moist from 5ish.
Lights also, just in case late back

Thanks Dad!
