"of October"

Part of the rigorous badger selection process requires candidates to be capable of reading the event date and time ;-)

Happy enough to go with this route now. The 2 mile loop at the top is optional, depending on how things are going

What times did you book?

08:32 depart and 17:40 return

31.70408km ?!

I thought this was a social ride, not some kind of sick test of the limits of human endurance

17:40 return

Not leaving much time for jello shots and strippers afterwards

You can see from previous rides roughly how long they usually take :-)

I should update that, as there's a few missing

Weren't the jello shots for during the ride?

Nah, they're a dessert.

1.5L duty-free bottles of Jack for during the ride.

Bravest badgers on the day will receive one of these extremely limited edition pink stickers

Looks great! Heading up to Epping Forest this Saturday so will check some of the route out :)

Excellent

If you survive, I'll know to go ahead with that route!

I'm sorry fellow badgers, but I won't be able to make it. I'll still be in Australia visiting my dad.
I would've worked hard for one of those stickers.

My bike is still currently a box of parts but I'm not throwing in the towel just yet

Still coming along, but I need some wheels. But maybe wheels are optional? Maybe wheels have been holding me back? [will get some wheels]

Being on the opposite side of the globe is a slightly better excuse for non-attendance than not having a functional bike, but they're both disappointing

better excuse for non-attendance than not having a functional bike

Woah woah woah. Nobody's making that excuse here

Anyone without a bike will have to ride on the back of @platypus 's tandem

If I don't, might still be good to do it so you can salvage my bike at least
