I'm torn between two ideas at present, both of which will be heavily affected by my agreement to go for 'a few drinks' after work on Thursday...
1) Ride a DIY 300km down south to Brighton, along the coast and back up to London.
2) Ride out to Edenbridge, or wherever is the closest point and ride the Around Weald 200km perm then ride back.
I have just booked tickets to go down to the Alps for a long weekend in May (it was cheaper to get down to Grenoble than it was to get up to Scotland for an Audax I was planning) so I'm swaying towards the latter on the basis that it'll mean a lot of climbing and I can effectively ride out, complete the 200km then jump the train home if Its raining - with the first idea I effectively DNF the whole day if I jump on the train after 250km.
anyone tempted?
