*"This is definitely off the FGSS beaten path so it should be a very interesting ride.
113 KMs so we will find someplace nice to eat lunch en route."*

Is lunch going to be a pub lunch or something lighter ?

If we're going to go to the pub, I reckon this might be good and its not a huge detour.

You cannot beat a Shepherd Neame pub in Kent! Comes 10 miles after the half way point, so probably a good a time as any.

John Mack?

Sounds good if someone can point the way.

We just turn left at the end of Bunny Lane and go North towards Tunbridge Wells rather than Frant. Its on the A267 (Frant Rd).

Anyone know how much the train fare back is; I am SO skint at the moment.

£23 from rye to london

or ride the easy 20 miles to headcorn and pay £8 to London bridge, waterloo east or charing of cross

they may let us do the group buy, but probably not worth relying on that.

that's me out then.

that's me out then.

no! i don't mind giving some money towards your ticket

^^ rep deserved for that, but it won't let me

^^ rep deserved for that, but it won't let me

i cant rep anybody either
whores are not allowed!

That's so kind Tika I don't know what to say except I can't possibly accept. In my heart I have given you double rep points.

it'd be a shame not to see you on the ride Will, group buys are usually cheaper - though I tend to agree with Ved, might not be happening in Rye. I'd go with RPM's suggestion myself if I had any notion I would be capable of such a ride after the first one of the day.

I'm getting a bit concerned here - without wanting to sound like I am suddenly obsessed with this geared malarkey - please tell me loads of not-superleague cyclists are riding fixed on this not-the-easiest of rides? I most certainly am and I'm starting to feel like I'll be left far behind in a backdraft of derailleurs. For the reocrd this will be a very long, most likely very hardgoing ride for me..

Hey, I'm riding fixed and I'm not Mr Motivator. Although I do wear a lot of lycra.

oh I'll be wearing lycra mate. I bought some for this ride after RPM and Jacqui sat me down and had a stern word about jeans and frayed perineums.

Lycra is definately recommended.

Not a bad shout, RPM.

Bit hilly at the start (you're always going to find hills on the south coast heading back inland), but they nice and flat with a slightly downhill finish. It'll probably be dark though, seeing as the Canterbury ride of slightly shorter length finished at 6pm. It did have a later start of nerly 10.30am though.

not that route Sam!

it'll kill you off.

I don't have bikely but:

you want to go along military road out of rye, to appledore then up reading st hill (the only hill and fairly easy) into tenterden, then biddenden to headcorn. It's a bit longer but quicker and a really pleasant ride.

Allow 1.5 hours to do it fixed, and add an extra 15 mins if it's a slow group or you expect flagging/punctures. Trains are on the hour, direct to London's Famous london. you don't want to take the one going back to ashford.

bosh

Get to Hyde Park Corner before 9 AM to enable us to leave promptly.
Should give us the afternoon on the Beach, train home.

Hooray.
