Rolling to the Stones

Another night-ride (geared?):

Definitely geared!

I have to ask - why? is it super hilly down there?

No, we just hate fixie riders.

Yes, it's cause it's hilly. Once you get past Staines, there's not a lot of flat road. It's not impossible to do it on a fixie, but given that there's a dead-line (sunrise), we feel it's preferable to have gears. Obviously, anyone is welcome, however.

I've been thinking about this one, is it quite a friendly one?

I hope it's not straight down the A303, that's a pritty horrible road, but I can't remember if there is a nice shoulder.

No, it's not the A303! No, no, no! Dazz or me will post a route later.

Yes, it's quite friendly - it's a small group normally, so you will get to know everyone quite well by the end.

Buffalo Bill No, it's not the A303! No, no, no! ...

ha ha. Glad about that one.

Yup, definately down for this.

Second last night to go out and buy some lights and spares peeps! Charge your batteries. Book your time off work. Get your homework done. ETC

Bollocks. Can't get time off work.

What? Nah! Wrong answer!
I think you've contracted a rare tropical illness known as morningabsentitis or maybe you're pregnant?

Damn. You found me out. 6 months in little baby Grolshina has just started kicking.

....oh, and I don't own a bike with gears.

We made it.

Fabulous.

Pictures?

Too tired to walk to the camera and upload..

just got home ride down was fantastic 2 punctures arrived about 1/2 hr before sun up ( did i say sun up sorry i lied i meant before grey clouds rolled across the horizon blocking it all out !! ) but it didn't dampen the atmosphere good time lots of fizzy sweet sweets great atmosphere there though lots of people minimal police presence lots of visual feasts wandering round and i don't just mean the honeyzzz lots of harry potter look alikes left about 8am cycled very slowly down to salisburyy for a bite to eat beautiful country side all around that area beer for breakfast felt great then down to the cathedral found a nice tree and we all got a power nap in then dan and i headed back got as far as alton ( basingstoke then south a bit ) when the heavens opened and riding became like the london to southend damp so i bolted for the train back to waterloo and cycled home 147 miles in total cycled by me pretty shattered now my arm chair in my lounge never felt so comfortable

Not on facebook... you don't have Flickr or something public?

I do, but facebook was quicker. Why the toss does farcebook call it a 'public' gallery if it ain't feckin' public?
I'm callin' my lawyers!
