2008-06-14 Sat - 100k Ride to Oxford, the people's choice

richmond will be choc's by 10

thinking the same

geez, such a late start. richmond will be choc's by 10

+1

It might be a bit late in the day to change to a 9am start in Richmond, but that doesn't detract from the fact it's a fantastic idea.

What's the groundswell of opinion, and the official word from jonny?

jonny boy, is not gonna be online much in the next coupla days, i think he's in devon.

They've not got in'ernet down there yet?

They have cider and carrier pigeons.

What is it famous for?

Wicked pub, with good beer and ace food

Jesus it has a chandelier?! Would they even let us in?! :S

And check the menu! Caviar section!! hahaha

That's the restaurant but you can have an ale in the beer garden - lovely!

Yeah, I am well keen for this ride, and keen for a 9am start too. Makes so much more sense.

I got the impression there was pick up points at the start.

8:30am brick lane
9:00am hyde park corner
10:00am richmond

Is this still true, cos I will meet at hyde park corner.

please don't change the start time, i have to take a train up from here! just leave it as it is. you're thinking we'll get stuck in traffic cos it's an hour later...?

In other news it is looking like I might have to bail and just meet you up here.
have to move my stuff and find a place to live and sort out like a million and 1 things.
balls

Hey,

Seeing as you and I can't ride it this weekend, what do you think about going Oxford to London some time in 9th week? I am sure we can get a motley crew together. Get OCW or OUCC to help out with a little promo.

No-one's going to change the start time. That's official.

so there

So ner.

the other reason is I don't have a bike that is suitable yet.
The moser i rode home on has had to have some major adjustments done to it, and other than that I have my speedway bike.
hopefully I'll have a bike by 10th week :(

Where is the Bob Jackson? Have you parted ways?

yup. all in preparation for a late summer project. By the end of summer I hope to only have 4 bikes. Roadie, MTB, all purpose and sunday best.
4 is a good number.

Anyone up for an earlier start?
Suitable for the elderly or slow and let the spinning hipsters catch up.
Stop for cream tea and scones, Oxford is in Devon, right?

what's the end pub gonna be like? sitting around on grass with offy bought cider? I don't really want to carry my lock on this ride...

any ideas yet?
