looking good folks. a reminder to all about this route. flatish but easy to get strung out. need for discipline when it comes to riding off the front. in a word don't do it. the first ten miles is single file with enough car action to get annoying if they stack up due to our riding 2 abreast (no jokes here phnar). if you hear the shout of car back pass it on and make sure everyone is singled up. we're also going reverse so any splits in the pack could prove time consuming and last time we did this a few of us missed the train because of one puncture and we had laid down good time so there really isn't a lot of slack out there.
I see the numbers managed to creep up to 21. as there will be approx 18 on the train make sure you get there in plenty of time, get your tickets sorted and be ready to board when it comes up so we can get in the doors (2 max Ludwig) before the commuters. the train is plenty long enough but it needs to be done properly. tip up with 5 minutes to go and you'll be trying to squeeze your bike on the carriage when the doors are already full with commuters who won't be pleased to see you.
@mschris - Jonny's going to pm you about the lights. meanwhile read post 1.
