A ride through all 32 London boroughs (and the City of London) ending at the statue of King Charles I in Trafalgar Square, the point at which you are 0 miles from London. We'll be departing from Sidcup Place at 0730 sharp. We hope to finish before dark, but we might not so it would be a good idea to bring lights. The weather looks a bit damp, mudguards are advisable.
It's about 180km, mostly flat.
Sidcup Place pub at the start has agreed to open at 7.15am to prepare food for us for our 7.30am depart. They're offering hot baps filled with either fried egg, sausage or bacon @ £1.99 each. Costa tea @ £1.79 each. Costa coffee @ £2.50 each. If you want any of that, you must book in advance by 3pm on Friday 18th, by adding yourself to the list near the end of this thread.
There will be regular brief stops for food, drink and toilet:
I will be running a GPS tracker on my phone ( http://www.greenalp.com/RealTimeTracker/ ) so if you have an android phone and you want to be able to find the group, install this app and add earthloop as a friend.
