2011-05-14 - The Seafood Ride

cool, i'm up for cycling the whole way aswell

:(

Pull a sickie :)

only work the one day :/ i miss the brighton ride this week and the seadfood ride next week. :/

Is anyone up for doing a fastish run there, seafood lunch, pootle back? I'll be on gears, starting from Brixton. Basically would end up being about the same as Dunwich.

May well be...

Train times for those interested are every half hour from Liverpool Street to Kelvedon.
It takes about 50 minutes and costs about 17 quid for a return.

The downside is that it's not much of a cycle - 13 miles each way - 26 mile ride.

Liverpool Street - Chelmsford:
Again, half hourly - I assume the same train.
Takes 35 minutes. Costs 12.50 for a return.
About 25 miles to Mersea

For the train team I'd suggest catching it from Liverpool Street at about 10 or 11 then pootle across to Mersea Island to meet the other riders who did the whole route at about 2ish.

For those up for the whole route from say.. Victoria Park it's about 55 miles.

I'm more than up for doing a ride out there and train back but equally happy with training half the journey.

Certainly don't fancy the full century with a stomach full of fish :)

Hope I can make this. I think I'd prefer to get train to Chelmsford or alternatively ride there and train back. I agree about not doing the full 100 on a full stomach!

ummmmmmmm! seafooooooood! im in.

Where are you riders thinking of starting from and at what time?

I say meet @ 8am at the end of Brick lane because bagels.

I'll post a map and scribble some route notes this weekend.

bagels you say?

That's pretty much enough to persuade me to cycle out there and we'll see about the route/train back..

Breakfast bagel does make it very tempting

8am is awful early the morning after Ladies drinks, but I would like to have a decent ride.

I'd favour taking the train to Shenfield or Ingastone and meet up with the group riding in Stock. Essentially doing about half the full ride.

Any idea on what time you'd get to Stock?

fuck! out got to go to my house in IBIZA, dust of my boat and diving gear and sun tan for few days! bugger! sorry guys!

That's a rubbish excuse.

8am bricklane sounds good to me.
is there a decision already on how to get there/ get back? i'd happily ride there, how about taking the train back from chelmsford or kelvedon to liv st, is that the plan anyway?

I think that's what quite a few will do but I know a couple will train to Chelmsford both ways.
Might be an idea to get a few phone numbers so the different groups can all meet at Chelms/Kelv and ride to the island together.

Mine - zero seven eight five four five nine six three nine six.
