I think Paul was younger than her husband.

Added thread date.
I'm a 'maybe'. Missed the last couple and if we're heading to a new place it could be nice but work is random.

Heading to a new place, random, maybe...

wtf! you turned into a introspective teenager?

Eh?

New place = avebury.
Maybe = I rarely commit to forum rides
Random = it depends what's is happening as to whether I can afford to be late on the Monday

Totally like

^^^ maybe = If it is raining I'll be tucked up at home in the dry

How far is it?

Ton.
Give or take.

Hmm, just seen this is the day after the Oxford ride. 170 miles in 2 days?

Kip the night in Oxford somewhere, then another ride down to Avebury from Oxford!

Yeah, I'm from Oxford originally, so my family is there, that's not the issue. But also a ride by myself? hmm, not sure, I think I would rather go from London then.

But also the most I've done in a weekend is about 70 miles, that's quite a step up.

I'll decide once I see how I feel after the Cambridge ride.

That was the most I had done last year and we clocked up 160.

that's a big yes to 170 miles.
was thinking about riding back from oxford but think the train might be slightly more appropriate now.
the oxford ride should be fairly mellow, chill/sleep all day sunday then just start pedalling again.
lots of flapjacks.
richmond to oxford is 70 miles and last year we rolled to the stones in 91 thats only 161!

Cool sounds like a plan. Glad to hear I'm not the only one mad enough to think of doing that.

bump

oh the Blethcley ride last year was one of the highlights of last years cycling activities
I would love to do this

not really all that many on the list bump

Wish I were doing this. I think I might even have been one on the people the one to mention Avebury.

For those planning the London to Avebury version, I'd suggest heading out to Ealing and picking up the A4, which should be pretty flat and fast. If you're looking to be early then head off at Newbury for Membury Services. This is on quite a few audaxes so despite being a motorway services they're quite used to cyclists rolling in the back for coffee and food. After that it's a fairly pleasant roll through Badbury and Ramsbury into Marlborough to rejoin the A4 over to Avebury.

there has to be some nicer b roads out there A4 must be pretty nasty to ride 60+ mph traffic whipping past your elbows
we barely touched the A roads heading to stonehenge apart from the last drag down the absolutely horrible A303 and that could have been avoided if we had done an extra 10 mile loop north and down

Anyone got an idea of what time this might depart?

6.30 - 7 at hyde park corner / speakers corner

Cheers Jules.
