Based on the notion of degree confluence points and London being so close to the 0 Meridian here is a proposal for a ride from 52°,0° to 51°,0°
Will work out an exact route, it will certainly include Greenwich, any suggestions are welcome. It is roughly 80mi and there the options to have a feeder ride to the start confluence point, take the train to Stansted or Royston, finish at the sea... There is also the possibility to peel off or join the ride in London. The start being so close Cambridge and the finish close to Brighton would make it easy for riders to join form B and C.
UPDATE - only 0.5 degree south to Confluence Point 51/0
As I have to be back in London by 18:00 on Saturday but I dont want to ditch the ride completly I would do only the second leg Route Map. There is a print flyout on the right hand side of the site, will alos complie a direction sheet.
Metting Saturday at the Royal Inn 8:45 am, Victoria Park (East Drinks) for a 9:00 take off. We will go through Greenwich pedaterian tunnel and by the observatory (That is where the Route Map starts) The course is a bit hilly but perfectly doable fixed. I leave the last bit to Brighton and/or possible ride back to London optional at the moment. A suggestion for a flat ride in Brighton along this route. Could also tackle Dicthling Beacon depending how people feel.
