5am Sunday start:

1. ryanse3
   
2. CHUG_IT
   
   

...I've drawn out the route on a TfL biking map, seeing as I'm somewhat expecting to end up lost & last on the ride... so it'll be handy for sharing with other lost people near the back of the pack, but for speedy bikers up the front? I cross my fingers for you :)

Am also thinking -if I find the time between now & then- having a bit of a look at Google Maps street levels, just at each corner we've to turn, so will be better able to recognise the way around... has worked well for me before on previous jaunts into unknown neighbourhoods.

n

ps. 9pm start on Sunday, with the same meeting point as on page 1, am I right? Otherwise I won't be sharing my map with anyone!

• Also, about how long did it take to ride on average? Am optimistic I can ride the distance, but then keep having flashback images of the state of marathan runners each year on the telly, and realise that's with them having done some serious training for the thing! :o.
