Rosie what time are you planning to ride out?

5.30 :I

I am planning on going to two pubs tonight so this has potential to go horribly wrong.

Ha! Doubt I will be getting up that early. Will give you a ring if by some magic I am. Sounds like you'll still be drunk!

Home from work, grazing on food, well excited!

It's 42 miles, so allowing for getting lost time I don't want to risk leaving it any later. I'll be going A24/A246 route then north of Guildford via Park Lane if you do make it.

I have drunk a bit of beer and eaten a Lot of dinner and all being well will see you at Farnborough at 8.45. Possibly shortly before I give up and get on a train back to London. But hopefully not.

bendix pm your number. i have set my alarm for an optimistic 5am just in case

done. route: [ame]http://ridewithgps.com/routes/1022544[/ame

could make it a bit shorter but I know most of the way this way. I think.

Rosie, If you're doing well for time, Whitedown is just off your route. Morning reps?

In other news, i'm drunk to the power of tweaked. If anyone is early to Waterloo, a box of neurofen from boots would be much appreciated.

See you drab wretched people on the morn x

Btw, my No. is zero triple seven 97 one zero 2 double seven if you need to get in touch.

There was me gagging for a century to push my month past 1000, and the only possibility of going resting on having this new job to afford a last minute train ticket....... as it turns out I'm 1 week in to said job and just got home, exhausted to the point of delirium..

Really hope the sun's out for you lot, and the ride goes without a hitch - Looks like it's going to be awesome!

You can haz nerofens in my bag.

Just regained feeling in my fingers after a coffee in Ingatestone. It was cold in the fog once out of London. Wonder how Rosie and Mike are doing. Enjoy the ride.

have a good one fellahs, will be thinking of all the fun you're having.

I still can't feel my feet. But I have made it to the start and the sun is shining so all is good.

Fancy bumping into you in the sun today!
I hope the rest of the ride went well

I don't suppose anyone's back yet. Hope you all had a good ride!

In the end my son is making his own way back from uni, but I've been layed-up in bed for two days with the flu so I couldn't make it to waterloo let alone bristol.

Looking forward to the post ride write-ups

I slept in and missed the start. Shameful, I know. I wasn't even drunk the night before.

Well that was the perfect ride. Great weather, Tailwind and no punctures! Thanks again sam

It was excellent indeed. Magnificent route, I am totally poaching that. Lovely to meet everyone and to see adroit en route.

I have ridiculous sunburn. oops.

Really great ride- think it might have been my best one yet. Really nice company and perfect weather

Agreed, that was one of the best. Couldn't really have asked for much more from a ride*

Thanks again for organising it Sam, and everyone else for making it such a good laugh.

*Except a quicker Falafel King obvs,,,

Nice ons Sam - such a fun route!

Was lovely to have met everyone, couldn't have asked for better weather or a better ride for my first century! And no punctures!

Some geeky stats for anyone interested:

Hopefully see you all again soon!

Well jealous! Was nice to see my family yesterday though.

Sounds like you all had a top day out. Well done on your first 100 Eamsey.

! I didn't realise we were in the presence of the forum's famous forum king of the fishy looking animals that look like bikes. I really should've done better at the figuring out who people were bit. I will buy you a pint shaped like a chaffinch next time.
