This Saturday the 27th we are doing a ride from London to Bournemouth. The route will either be the one in the first post (probably) or along the A30. I would prefer the one in the first post.
Pifko has a train which arrives at Woking at 07:27 or Waterloo at 07:53.
I would rather not fuck about riding out of London as it's a fucking slow shitty stop-start pothole pollution fest. I say we get up bright and early and get the 07:00 train (arrives 07:26) from Clapham Junction to Woking and meet Pifko there. The train ticket is £6.90 (or £4.55 with railcard) and can be used on ANY train, so no problem with missing train. Pifko doesn't mind waiting a little bit.
Gonna be dark by about 4pm and so I think doing 110 miles most likely against a strong prevailing headwind starting about 07:30 is not unreasonable. Who's in?
Edit: Weather forecast is 7C, sunny with 9mph headwind. Although I wouldn't be on that being accurate 7 days in advance.
