2008-04-12 Sat - London to Southend-on-Sea II

Right take me off the list. I'd love to have done a re-run, but gotta go up and visit my folks in the lake district that weekend now. If anyone feels upset by this news, I'll bring you back some Kendal Mint Cake to console you ;-)

I'm upset about this news..

comes as no surprise to be honest ;-)

Hippy - white or brown?

Slamm - shut it you cheeky git. You should be thankful I won't be there to knock you off your bike again ;-P

photoben: Both, of course! (I'm not even sure what you're talking about I just know they're food) :P

hi everyone...

looks like this coming saturday the weather still will be a bit shit so lets reschedule it to next weekend, 05th April ...on 06th april theres the sheldon brown memorial ride.
And this coming saturday 29th theres a jumble in ripley which I want go to go too...

so I hope everyone can come to the ride on the 05th ApriL
;)

cheers

5th of April is the Brighton Ride.

yeap...just realized that!!!

so saturday 12th April will be fine ;)

I wasn't on the original list

but i still want to go on saturday the 29th. the weather won't be as bad as this past weekend.

I just checked the forecast for this coming Saturday, 29th, it says 11 degrees, showers. What else would it say? Its March!

Oh well. Saturday 12th it is then.

Where's Ripley, anybody? Sounds like an oop-north name.

Excellent. The 12th of April sounds perfect. I'm just leaving the big, wet smoke for Crete for a few weeks to build a treehouse.I was gutted I couldn't do the intial date but if the weather holds "its on, its most definately on".I'm up for riding back but not before sampling the delicacies of Saff-end.I've been testing my now ruined knees on the south downs. Essex sounds much kinder.

Can't do it on the 12th, damn. I'll be in art-mode helping install an exhibition. Have a good one. (Perhaps I was asking for it going for number 13 anyway..)

From metoffice for the 29th
Outlook for Saturday to Monday:
Largely dry and bright Saturday morning with isolated showers, but further heavy rain and strong southwesterly winds later. Sunday and Monday, bright spells with scattered showers and brisk southwesterly winds.

is anyone still keen for this saturday or are we going to let a little rain scare us off? looks like if we get away early enough we should miss the worst of it. thoughts?

Too many stickies, will re-sticky this a week before the event.
