Isle of Grain - 77% traffic-free 3

107 KM ride out to the Hoo Peninsula

Mainly flat and stress/traffic-free (Greenway, River, Canal and quiet roads).
Road slicks not advised (25c++), sections of gravel and God-knows what along route.
Make sure your bike and brain are cool with that.

No crybabies, No crap equipment

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

Train home after eats/refreshments.

I want a sleep-in after RHC - Pushed start time back an hour.

Meet 9:30 (leave 10:00) Broadway/Westgate London Fields

Or

Meet 11:00 Tunnel Entrance Southside Woolwich

Are gears OK for this one?

Sure.
There is only one real hill though.

So this is Sunday.

If you have a bike capable of off-road action and a brain that isn't pea-soup after RHC, come down!

107KM off-road and traffic-free.

In a dilemma about this. Really enjoyed the Southend ride so would be up for this but also need to check in with my regular Sunday ride which I've missed for the last month, for various reasons.

I'll let you know by Friday, John.

To everyone else, I highly recommend.

Annoyed to miss this (and RHC) yet again, but I will be in Wales. Not even with a bike, due to let minute changes.

Have a good ride.

Never done an organised forum ride but might be in for this. 28c Ribmos okay?

Guess so.

I did the Southend ride, which was off roadish at times, on 25c Michelin Endurance and got round ok. 28c Rimbo sound like they'd be good for it.

I'm in. Will be on gears and mudguards and fat tyres bike.

Huge favour to ask anyone going on this ride and leaving from London Fields:

I need a 28.6 seatpost clamp for tomorrow. The shops have closed! I can buy or borrow. I'll provide beer or coffee and money. I can meet you tomorrow morning.

This is a particularly bold favour to ask since I can't actually go on this ride (other plans are taking me up to Hertford).

Thanks and enjoy the ride.

I am so sorry. 2016 ride is cancelled.

Go to bed

:(

No worries; catch you next time.

Just went out for a little shake down / mooch around on my recently finished surly. All good. It's quite breezy out.
