Following last year's highly agreeable LFGSS/YACF mash-up diverted rerun of skive's lovely route from the top end of Brick Lane to Cambridge, it's time to run it again.
NOTE slight alteration to muster station: Leaving as soon as possible after 9am from the old polo court at the top end of Brick Lane. Let's not clutter up the street outside Beigel Bake any more than necessary. You may recall this is where we met two years ago.
This is a gentle and picturesque route (once you're out of London) and it seems to work for a mixture of fixed and geared. All are welcome, but please make sure you are reasonably self-sufficient in terms of maintenance and repairs: we'll happily lend a hand if you have an unscheduled deflation, and we won't be leaving anyone behind except in extremis, but please try to make sure your bike/trike/whatever is reliable and roadworthy.
In the interests of allowing some folk to ride back and others to get trains back, I've suggested we don't stop for an extended lunch at a pub, lovely though that was last year and the year before. So we might skip that left fork to Furneux Pelham and head straight up to Stocking Pelham.
We should probably pause at High Beech tea hut to celebrate the escape from the smoke, and then we can always refuel somewhere like the Londis in Much Hadham if people need to buy food en route.

Here's Rod Munch's computer spy satellite tracker device route thingy (see why I'm called Ludd?)
