• I may be up for this too! southend is a battle field on a saturday night though isnt it?

    Don't know--we'd obviously aim to get there for a decent cafe opening time. I expect it's not going to be as busy as Brighton, though. I hope I'm wrong and we'll find a cafe that opens at 7 or 8. Trains are absolutely fine. I've also just looked up what route the FNRttC do and it's completely different--they have two routes, none of which is ours. I think meeting up somewhere other than HPC may be a good idea for this one, perhaps Spitalfields or so. I'll also do a proper recce before the ride, so let me know if you're up for that. I'll stick a proper thread up when I'm more certain about everything and will stop cluttering up this one. Just as an initial heads-up.
