  • Yeah, I want to do the Chiltern Ridgeway thing with the missus but I don't think we're up for 350k round trip and she doesn't have enough bivvy kit/bikepacking bags to sleep out with me.

    I've got time off for a wedding that didn't happen so I was thinking about early weekday morning riding to Harrow & Wealdstone and taking train to Tring. 5:46->6:17 and that leaves a large chunk of the day to ride the route.

    Then work out how to get back - maybe a train from Marlborough. Nope just looked, no trains, so maybe ride 13mi to Swindon and then train back from there. 23:19 is the last train to Paddington, then ride back from Paddington.

  • Some train operators are being arsey about letting obvious leisure travellers on - e.g. people with bikes. I had some friends refused at Oxford by GWR last week, which would be the same operator as Swindon.

    It'll probably all change after July 4th mind.

  • That's pretty fucked when people are allowed to drive to beaches and stuff.

    I could understand if carriages were getting towards capacity but we'll see at 6am on a weekday and if it's too busy, try something else.

  • How do they know it's leisure and not for work or to look after a vulnerable person?
