    Is anyone heading in from South East (deptford, new cross) and want to head in for this.
    Or Skully can I meet you some where?

  • Oliver i would have been well up for this ride!
    Cch are racing in italy this weekend though :)

    Get your priorities straight! :P

  • another bloody Saturbloodyday ride.

    stupid work

  • Bugger, an evening out has been arranged with the new gf, it's not happening for me :(

    Sorry dudes, another time. I'm so unfit anyway, i rode from london bridge station to st pauls on my bmx for the first time in 2 weeks yesterday and i was fucked.

  • GF?! WTF?! So is she just some shack up you met at Reading, or is she an actual gf?!

    Blow her off (not in ther literal sense) and come out for a ride. Nothing like getting your fitness back on a nice long ride.

  • Haha, na she's the girl i've liked for ages and it finally came together just before reading. She's awesome :) The tickets have been bought i'm afraid!

  • Oliver, can I join you @ the Whipps x roundabout ; as I live next to it?

    Or do you need me to shepherd people through Hackney and onto the Lea Bridge Road

    One other point, at that time of day I d recomend that we keep to single file from Woodford onward, especially on the Epping New road.

  • Never mind Fat pants. Just as long as you don't stop riding cus of a girl!

  • Weather looks good guys - Oliver I wont make the same mistake eating a JKT Potatoe for lunch and getting stomach cramp!

  • weather looks good - i'm in

  • Dirty D, that's cheating. You can't wait until the day before to check that the weather's ok before committing!

    Is anybody else as excited as I am?

  • Ha! Did anyone ever doubt that the weather would be just great? :)

    I've settled on this route:

    [ame]http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/Leaving-East-London-ride-5-9-09[/ame

    [/ame]

    Edward, sorry not to get back to you! I've been meaning to but have only just managed to look at this.

    This is slightly different from the route I'd initially put up. Most importantly, I've changed the direction (for reasons that are secret, so don't tell anybody), and it's more of a figure of eight. It takes in a lot of favourite lanes and has pub stops planned at Moreton, Chigwell, and Lea Bridge. We'll also stop at the High Beech tea huts.

    The new route is slightly shorter than the previous one but should still take us a while at 67 miles.

    Look forward to seeing everybody tomorrow, 10am at TdV!

  • Bikely just seems to have gone down. It does that sometimes. Hopefully, it'll be available again sometime soon!

  • Oliver, can I join you @ the Whipps x roundabout ; as I live next to it?

    Or do you need me to shepherd people through Hackney and onto the Lea Bridge Road

    No, do join us later if you want--I don't have a mobile, though, so you'll need to time it right. :)

    We should be hard to miss going through Whipps Cross.

  • We shouldn't be hard to miss going through Whipps Cross.

    Is that what you meant Oliver?!

    I can't believe you're going to knock 3 miles off. I just don't know whether I'm going to be able to come now.

    Oliver, are you going to be leading us the whole way or are there several who know the route? Is it an area that you ride around a lot? I don't know that I've ever been out to Essex that way or have been anywhere in or around that area. I'm looking forward to it.

  • Is that what you meant Oliver?!

    No--I meant that we should be hard to miss, i.e., easy to see.

    I can't believe you're going to knock 3 miles off. I just don't know whether I'm going to be able to come now.

    You can never please the hardriders. :)

    Peter Carter knows the area very well, too. I ride around there regularly and should just about manage not to get us lost. Then again, I do have a tendency to end up in Dunwich once in a while, but don't let that put you off. ;)

  • Ooooh, I like the sound of Dunwich. Afterall it's not too far away, is it?!

  • Just a hop, skip, and jump.

  • I thought it was a pedal, hop and a skid?

  • haven't managed to build up my replacement fixed gear this week(unless chainring arrives at 8am tomorrow) so will be coming on the lumbering beast that is the long haul trucker. looking forward to a gentle pace and plenty of tea stops.
    Can't wait for the morn, my lovely girlfriend may well be coming as well if her hangovers not too bad.
