2010-09-18 Sat - Clacton-on-Sea - Last Ride of the Summer

This time I will be on my trusty old Brooks saddle so won't have to rely on Pajamas bringing a spare saddle!

I missed it last year and apparently was one to remember.
Talking to some people keen on repeating/ doing it said there is a camping in the destination area.

Considering is not such a long distance, the route is mainly flat and it ended up at the beach (yes!), would it be a possibility to organise it as a camping overnight one?

Please, discuss.

yeah! i think we should do a camping one in july or aug as well as this one in it's unaltered form. this was a great great ride last year.

this will be in september (last ride of the summer) and the weather will be unpredictable...

True. We'll wait for the 'Master of the Ceremony' comments then.

How did it goes your new tent in the IoW, Joe ?

it is not the lightest tent, but really easy to pitch and unpitch (?) and there is plenty of space my me and my shit. you can fit 2 as long as you are good friends.

it stood up well to the wind and rain. it is a northface tadpole, as recommended by mashton.

looking for ANY excuse to get it out again. the tent that is...

So what sort of speeds we talking? Will the marker system be used?

^^and if you are best friends you can fit four, one in the top of each other ;)

did the tent come with instructions of how to set up friendship scale? that would be handy.

you funny bloke joe! x

... delayed reaction reply (1 week later)

Last year it was quite slow and we made plenty (too many?) of stops. What's the "marker system"?

Sigh. Mini Polo tournament this Saturday, also this ride on a Saturday - working every second Saturday means that I miss stuff like this. What's wrong with Sundays?

Really want to do this. Would be first century though. Will have to do more during the summer as warm up.

hope there'll be some local entertainment, like say… kids throwing bikes of rooftops

Bump-de-bump!

Was good last year. I'll see if I can make it. No gears this time, I promise!
