2011-07-30 Sat 8am - Bournemouth - (The 100 Club)

A few SE Beers regulars want to ride to Bournemouth at the end of July... so at the honorable request of Iain Chainbreaker Esq, here's a thread for anyone else who want's to tag along.

Please have a read the following blurb...

Self-sufficiency
Bring tools, spare tubes, appropriate clothes, plenty of food and water, lights, batteries, etc. Familiarise yourself with the route, swap numbers before departing, and charge your phone. Eat/drink little and often.

Check your bike
Give it a look over before the ride – tighten, inflate, oil, kiss, and make sure it’s roadworthy.

Road etiquette
Try to remain vigilant on the country lanes, especially when navigating blind corners. Let others know when you are slowing or coming past, and for the benefit of those behind you, call out or point at hazards such as potholes and cars. If you have a puncture, mechanical or drop off the back, call out to those in front to wait, and unless they hate you, they’ll pass the message forward.

Thanks due to The Brick(Tommy) for much of the route

**Depart 9:00am **

Yo I'm tempted but is this going to be at a geared pace? Also looks to be one or two substantial climbs. Don't want to drag things down with my one gear.

I fucked up the dates. Can't do the 30th :-(

Nooo Iain! Actually, keeping my fellow southerners safe from you is probably a good thing...

Sucks, but hey... I might be off to Berlin on that weekend. IF i can get my passport and visa in time. We will see.

Sorry Jimbo

Defintely out now. Sorry guys:-(

Trains: £15 in advance at the moment. Groupsave might work out more on the day, but happy to be corrected by someone more informed. I'm going to book today on the 20:22, which should give plenty of time to relax at the end.

Officially out.

Question - title says 8am departure, OP says 9am? Which is it to be?

8am from LMNH, 9 from Richmond IIRC.

^ Yup.

Alex I am quite destroyed, was really looking forward to seeing you again!

Don't suppose anyone wants to put me up for the night on Friday? That or I'm up at 4am...?

Just realised I have been getting my weekends mixed up again and can technically make this. How fast are we talking?
