EASTER VINTAGE JERSEY RIDE - SUNDAY 12th APRIL
(A.K.A VJ DAY)
THIS IS A SOCIAL RIDE. NOT A RACE.
**STARTS AT 1PM SHARP FROM SMITHFIELDS MARKET, SO PLEASE BE THERE BY 12.30PM. **
SHOULD REACH END (SCOLT HEAD IN DE BEAUVOIRTOWN) BY 6PM.
FIRST GLIMPSE OF THE ROUTE (WILL CHANGE SLIGHTLY BEFORE, OR EVEN ON, THE DAY):
URL for this route is: URL for this route is: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=2708673
Route based on best views, traffic levels, and most fun to ride.
FRONT BRAKE IS RECOMMENDED
*FOR JERSEYS, PLEASE SPEAK TO COPPITHAT, OR VISIT EBAY. (CONVICTS OF THE ROAD ARE A GOOD BET AND IF YOU QUOTE LFGSS YOU WILL GET 1st CLASS POSTAGE FOR FREE. AND THEY ARE BASED IN LONDON).*
The long Easter weekend is fast approaching and everybody is making plans. Why not take a break from bills, brackets, beer and bargins and get some fresh air? This is a fantastic opportunity to get outside, on your two wheeled machine, and see some of the best countryside zones 1-6 has to offer.
Think Eddy Merckx, Jacques Anquetil, the Milk Race, Tour De France (but at a reduced speed of course!). Picture cutting through this green and pleasant land whilst coated in history. Down those tools and pint glasses (at least whilst riding), dust off that jersey and don that Faema cap! Suck in that expanding waistline, and push for the finishline!
Come recreate the glory days. The days of thunder. The days of Sex, lies and Handlebar Tape!
Alternatively you could come and sweat bullets in a garish woolen jersey with a bunch of mates on bikes, ride round some streets, fields and woods, then sink a few jars in the pub at the end.
Any help printing and lamminating the spokecards nearer the day would be much appreciated. I am also producing a routecard for the ride. I can provide more details to whoever can help.
