And one more newbie here. Heard about the ride and it's too tempting as I am only a couple of miles from the start (ignoring the thought of Dagenham in drizzle at 2/3rds point with still a way to go…).

I have a birthday in Essex later on the Saturday so I'm out. Though I considered joining in for a bit most of the inspiration to go on this ride was to say I did the whole thing. Since I can't now, I'm out (despite how "tempting" the logistics of this ride sound to me). Looking forward to doing it next year. No 17 now free.

hughbido

Sidcup Place pub has agreed to open at 7.15am to prepare us for our 7.30am depart.

The pub is offering hot baps filled with either fried egg, sausage or bacon @ £1.99 each. Costa tea @ £1.79 each. Costa coffee @ £2.50 each.

Please add to this list so I can book numbers. I will order and pay for a few extra anyway to cater for late arrivals who can grab something before the off. We will be burning around 7500 calories on the day, so something to start won't go amiss.

Order will go to pub this Friday 18th at 3pm. Please be on the list by then or come Saturday's start, it's only the ones below who will be tucking in.

Hughbido+coffee+egg
maddernj + coffee + sausage + egg
Itisaboutthebike + tea + sausage + bacon.
blue fleet+ egg bap (with ketchup or brown sauce please)
Toastyoneuk+ coffee + sausage + egg
Thomas +1, with one coffee, one tea

Nick.Earthloop

Done. This will be the final route, unless someone spots something disastrously wrong with it.

Or maybe not, fasih has a possible improvement, he's locked in a darkened room with the route now.

The route is unchanged, as you were.

Here is a copy of the TCX track with the coursepoint names changed to convey more information, using the shorthand below. It's otherwise identical to the route linked from the first page.

http://wikisend.com/download/335138/spiralx1_qs.tcx

100m - make a turn in 100 meters
T - at the upcoming T-junction
C - at the upcoming corner
i - at the upcoming traffic-lighted intersection
X - at the upcoming crossroads
O - at the upcoming roundabout
o - at the upcoming mini-roundabout
Y - at the upcoming fork/lanesplit
flw - follow
10oClk - in a 10 o'clock direction
RtL - Right then Left, i.e. turn right, then take the first left
O 2 - at roundabout, take 2nd exit
o 2tL - at mini-roundabout, take 2nd exit and then take the 1st turning on the left.
oo 1t2 - at pair of mini-roundabouts, 1 then 2 (i.e take first exit from the first one then take the second exit from the second one)

Hamishio
Although I've been looking forward to this the last few weeks, sadly my bike will not be returned to me in time. Supposed to be delivered on Saturday, not sure what time. Could someone pm me with a phone number so I can maybe catch you guys en route?

What time do we meet and where exactly to take the train??
• #337

ObiWomKenobi

• #338

Think I have to flounce :(
• #339

BigH

Here is the information for anyone who wants to meet at kentish town or at blackfriars

Kentish Town [KTN] Platform 1 to Bickley [BKL]
Saturday 19 October 2013
Departing Arriving Duration Changes
06:14 07:17 1h 03m 1

There is a ten minute wait for the train that takes us to bickley. This could give us time to energize.

06:42 London Blackfriars [BFR] Platform 3

Please pm if you need my number, but I will be there waiting on the platform for about 6.05
This is going to be intense

Nick.Earthloop

Mrs Earthloop is probably going to drop me at the start and meet me at the finish, and she says she'll be happy to carry bags from start to finish. She won't be at the stops, so if you drop out we'll need make some arrangement to get your bag back to you later.

We'd like to get an idea of numbers for this, who wants bag transport ?

mate :(

You're doing the right thing if your knee's not right though. Next time

Okay, so we still need to sort out one important question: what's the hashtag for this ride?
• #343

It's a shame but I might try and meet up with you guys toward the end though!

I doubt anyone I'll be up for a round 2 but if they are I'm in haha

I'm very much looking forward to this. Will probably be hungover though which I'm not looking forward to so much.

I have put together a route sheet based on the ridewithgps notes. I have added a few things but not much.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4223260/SpiralRide_Routesheet_final.pdf

Take a look, if there is anything obviously wrong then let me know. I will be watching the thread on and off for the next couple of hours. Will go get some printed for tomorrow later on once I have had some feedback.

Okay, so we still need to sort out one important question: what's the hashtag for this ride?

Although Tanya's was certainly more punny, let's go with Velocio's suggestion so there's enough characters for actual tweet content.

Temp
I am gutted, no literally! I have just had 8 days of Rotavirus, courtesy of my 2 year old. Apparently never had it as a kid and it hits like a fucking mule. Details are probably more appropriate for the Foffa thread but alas I won't be able to come. Gutted.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
