2017-08-05 Sat/Sun - NLtCBMBC - Deal With It III

NORTH LONDON THUNDER CATS BLACK METAL BICYCLE CLUB

Fixed/Single Speed* overnighter to Deal on the South East coast.

Like Dunwich with less dorks and more interesting things to see.

Ends at pub with full breakfast menu and Kirin pints on tap.

166.6KM mainly traffic-free.
5km gravel + 1km grass sections.
23 tires OK (don't bring road-shoes).

Be self-sufficient and bring adequate clothing.
Apparently the moon is at 96.8%, but good lights are a must.
Beer, spirits, food and sports gels/bars required..

Fast-social pace, nobody left behind.
We want to stick together as much as possible and leaders will wait at non-obvious forks in the road and corners.

(BUT) If you are seriously dragging the group you will be off-loaded at a train station.
There are plenty enroute (including a midnight service from Gravesend) BUT you may have a long wait as trains down there resume at 07:30 on Sunday morning.

LONDON - Woolwich - Gravesend - Rochester - Rainham - Faversham - Whitstable - Herne Bay - Margate - Ramsgate - Sandwich -DEAL

GPX will be posted here closer to the date.

Bike, body and brain could be tested : No crybabies, No crap equipment!

So save the date (do it now!) and invite your friends!

*

1. Geared riders to the back of field (I want to enjoy the silence of the night without your freehub ruining it)
   
2. On descents give clear warning (on right, stay etc.). Always pass on far right
   
3. Don't sprint off at the bottom of a descent. Slow down and let the group come back together
