Newbie here, but super keen. Would add myself to the list, but scared of destroying things... Train out.

Cool. Standard questions, have you read the guidelines, do you have a good enough front light?

Cheers. Yep, read the rules, done plenty of group riding, have a great front light.

The flapjacks are in the pan. I repeat, the flapjacks are in the pan.

No glacé cherries this time but I did find some impressively out of date almond and coconut flakes

Kinda newbie here. I did E4-Extacy last year, except now I have far fewer gears on my bike.
Train out, ride back. (This train is getting quite cosy!)

Cool. I won't split the train now, we'll play it by ear. There is a train at 19.28 gets there at 20.00. If we can't all get on the same train a few can wait for the second. First group out can roll slowly until the second catch up. So long as we're quick to the train and spread 2 to a door we should be ok.

I might need to pull out. I'm not riding to work tomorrow so if I make it, I'll need to ride out. I'll text ya.

Trip to the Zoo with the kids tomorrow means I need my beauty sleep, so sadly my pondering is at an end. Have fun out there.

guys this is exciting!

Ihave a head cold tho so i might skip trying to "win" the TT back to the pub and just enjoy the roll back. although if @Rod_Munch gives chase i'll have no choice but to put the hammer down (and then lose like always regardless)

Ditto with the head-cold, came on last night which was slightly annoying timing but as @Ruserius said; so long as it stays off the chest then it's fine to ride.

As has been said before, the difference between TTing the last 10 and rolling in at conversational pace never amounts to much more than 5 minutes.

Second to wet the bed. I am genuinely going to Ikea Edmonton instead though. Have fun out there.

Gearful newbie ( although planning to do it in one gear ). Train in, train back, looking forward to my first ride here :)

Saddle sore is getting better and it would be a shame to miss this nice weather. I'll join the merry train mob.

Where's the meeting point in the station?

Nobody has to go to Ikea

Where's the meeting point in the station?

Can I also ask this question? And check what time people meet?

We meet at behind the information desk outside the ticket office (pretty much the centre of the concourse). I would suggest as early as possible as we should be able to get groupsaves which require queuing up at the ticket office. I should think about 15-20 mins ahead of time.

So, is this our train list?

About time I'd 15 minutes before departure is fine? Also, who's taking the group save ticket, are we splitting trains, etc

Edit: should have refreshed before posting, sorry.

Had hoped to ride tonight, but way behind on sorting stuff for Flanders. Good riding all.

And there it is, the meeting in the diary which will make it nigh on impossible to make it tonight. I might just Ride out to the finish pub for post ride drinks.

Shame not to have you along Des, enjoy Flanders, and you know where we are when you get back.

Dibs on the lift home if you "ride" out to the pub.
