Lights??!!!! Sheeeesh how long is this ride suppose to take? I was thinking 6 hours MAX.

4hrs tops 8 hrs for the return journey
i'm hoping to be back for the champions league finale

Skully gets up at the crack

I had heard this about him...

Methinks he doth jest.
Didn't seem to take very long at all last time. No P*nctures or other serious breakdowns/stoppages that I can remember. Not exactly dynamo pace tho...

Dis is gonna be a big'un.

Something that should be noted by all riders given tomorrows warm forecast -
bring plenty of water with you.

Pheeeeew!

Who's up for a SWIM when we get there? I AM !!!!!!

Post ride swim is a great big bowl of win. It will probably necessitate that I bring a bag to hold towel, togs etc. Something I was keen to avoid but swim > bag inconvenience

really looking forward to rolling tomorrow, that's a whole lot of riders...

^ if I'd known you were going...

+1

I took a twenty minute round-trip to the shops this afternoon, returned to the office, and then polished off a litre of water.

Time for a second bottle cage.

yeah it's been uncertain up till today marky but happy to say

Hmm, no cage bosses on tandem and only 1.5l avec hydration tablets in the camelbak. Might gaffa an emergency bottle of water to the frame somewhere...

Towel? come on Aussie, thats what the sun is for!

Ed I have a waterbottle holder thing that you can velcro onto a belt or maybe even the bike if you want to borrow
It looks a bit like this, but with no carabiner and more velcro. will fit a 500ml bottle easy

Weighs nothing, so I can bring it for you tomorrow if you want..actually I've just remembed I also have a camelbak if you want to double up.

cor blimey anyone would think it's gonna be 25C tomorrow
all this talk of water
drink a couple of pints before you leave
quoff a few pints of bitter on route
no need for bottle cages water bottles bidons camel bac's camel toes or any of that malarkey

Dicki - I drink anything between 5-10 litres a day at work during the summer often more, I wish I could survive on a couple of pints of bitter and a bidon but alas I have a freakishly thirsty body!

Clefty - Would appreciate a lend of the holder thingy, can never have too much. Ta!

john major ( or was it ian duncan smith ) used to drink 15 pints after a hard day at work down't pit
thats how i plan to rehydrate tomorrow evening !

Towel? come on Aussie, thats what the sun is for!

Yeah, you won't need that towel, it's the Thames estuary, you'll pretty much dissolve on contact with the water.

Yeah, I know, just looked it up, water's fine, Blue Flag award and all, never let the truth get in the way of a bad joke.

Dont forget lights going on last year's pace to...

is this going to be super slow?

i need to be back in London for 4:00 to look at a flat.... what time did you all finish last year Gus?

i think i might give this a miss and hit the track instead.

Goes round and round and round and round and round and round and round, PARKLIFE

hoops: we left at 9ish ( i believe SOMEBODY who organised the ride was late). arrived about 3ish.

i think.
