i need to buy a ticket...

Cupcakes/ hats/ 6pt/ TCB, what are your arrangements for that?

19:00 train from Paddington to Bristol Temple Meads (arr. 20:40). APPARENTLY my bike is also booked on the train but I am somewhat sceptical.

isnt that a little tight?

I wasn't planning on seeing much of Brizzle's nightlife before heading off.

How far from the start is the station?

2.1 miles

Might need a less spinny gear!!!

Hairnetnic, sounds like you have the pace I could enjoy.

You may not know that im near by though as im like a ninja in the night.

Haha, I like to aim for 10 mph, fast enough to keep warm not too fast to get tired. Happy to take it as a group, offers some flexibility over punctures and running out of water...

im going to order mp3 portable speakers so we can ride and sing.

Bohemian Rhapsody FTW!

YES!! James Bond theme tunes too, please!

^^ I was looking at some of these just yesterday after having been regaled with the braker sound system on Saturday night.

bought and on route

his tunes were both eclectic and entertaining. I'm well in on the idea!

Bombing along to Bath in the tranquil dawn was only enhanced by Brakers choice of 'Smack my Bitch Up'. Heartily recommended!

Fuck I'm stupid.

Managed to book a return from Bristol Temple Meads instead of Exeter.

Sigh. Never book tickets late at night.

I'm thinking about a little expedition this weekend by way of preparation. Maybe even the Ditchling Devil route to Brighton and back. Sunday probs given the road race on Sat. Anyone fancy accompanying for some/all of the way, or have a more sensible suggestion for route?

It's the women's road race on the Sunday, don't forget - may affect your route planning.

Damn, of course. Gravesend/Clacton it is then.

What time is everyone planning on coming back, considering that TCB says we can do breakfast at hers?

any why wont it let me pick an alternative return ticket?!

Do i need to buy 2 tickets?

Well, you're going to and leaving from 2 different places, so I think that's 2 seperate tickets...

I think I'm coming back on the monday or possibly later in the week.

you suck

sorry but it was in fact Firestarter. You must have been singing Smack My Bitch Up in your head.
