Vee vee, why not join for whole ride?

Vee vee, why not join for whole ride?

Mental hygiene issues.

I thought it was for coming back home in time for cooking.

well yes marcom, Waitrose closes at 5pm on a Sunday.

Tesco?

how dare you!

I agree! better Sainsbury!

Vee vee, why not join for whole ride?

I might do but I am much slower than that lot so to achieve 50 miles in one afternoon is going to be too stressful for me and I'd like to be home in the afternoon rather than evening.

You can't be slower than me, VeeVee!

that's true vee. i've ridden with you both. matt's moustache is not very aero.

I double checked the trains and something is changed!

waterloo to leatherhead only, no big issue anyway, it will add just a few more miles.

possible to get to dorking from waterloo, i've just checked.

leave at 12. arrive 1251.

fucking trains

possible to get to dorking from waterloo, i've just checked.

leave at 12. arrive 1251.

51mins to Dorking? It's only about 30miles away innit?

riding from dorking will means changing not only the starting time with possible related problems for someone, but also the hills appear order....

I think is more easy just add a couple of miles from leatherhead and stick with the original route.

i'm getting the train.
i know what it's like out there.

ok. i've had a look. we can get to dorking from waterloo. on the 12.02 or on the 12.32. gets us in slightly quicker. dropping us right on the flat point of the ride.....(relatively)

warm up.
pub stop will be different. will be dorking way.

i think this will work, for this time, it's a fucker that the trains changed. i think the original looked chewy. this looks tasty.

aside: i am thinking of using dorking as a start point in the future but still end at effingham. pub is nice at effingham.

Great work damo. Had been looking at the train times and been thinking that long to get there?

ok then, we will start with Ranmore. what a warm up!

:D

mental preparation: any tips?

fussballclub: it usually takes an hour from waterloo with no changes on a sunday.

and actually: the praise goes to marco. he's the one that designs these tests.

i just make sure the lists work.

42 min last time. That's more then 25%. You do not get anyghing like that in Surrey. Ranmore, did I just jump into the cold water without looking?

SSTC "Snack Mix"
Sunday 13th June
Meet at Waterloo 12.00 at the ticket office for groupsaver. Leaving with the 12.32 arriving at Dorking at 13.25.

http://www.bikemap.net/route/511152 50 miler, starts mild with a few lumps for warming up, a good stretch of flat, rolling, downhills, and just a couple of proper climbs....

Highlight of the day? .....Leith/Coldharbour > Ranmore.

Like usual some parts of the route will be new, so some treasure hunting/exploring might be involved.
The ride is backstopped, no one is left behind... the top guys have fun on the front and the rest laugh at the behind... we will regroup at junctions.
Weather check day before.
Pub at the end for refreshment.

ALL WELCOME!! ..females, males, lesbians, homosexuals, bisex, straights(boring), ladyboys(only fully lycra please), weirdos, mentalist, anal-retentives and fuckers!
VIP gangs members? HELL NO! They can just fuck off once for all!
