Tnrc 2013

We were all strangers once.

And with a bit of luck some of them will be strangers again soon.

It'll be a sprint to get there in time but if I can make it I will join you.

This is despite the constant agony and lack of sleep.

Victoria 19.07/B
Return trains: 22.16/38, 23.16.
GS4 £6ish
30 miles, Kent lanes and a spin along Pilgrims way at the end. Normal tnrc drill - regroup after hills, no one gets left behind etc.

Anyone fancy a brisk and possibly geared ride out to the start from Central?

Howard, when would you be heading out?

6.30ish? Give or take 20 mins or so, haven't really thought about how long it should take.

Was hoping to join you all but I can't really make it now. Enjoy!

^^I'd be up for riding out. Am planning on gears for a change tomorrow evening too.

Nice one. Will pm you both to arrange tomorrow.

I finish work at 5ish so may head home then meet you in town, or not... i'll see.

Useless post.

I'm out I'm afraid, as the logistics don't stack up. I won't be able to get to Otford until after 8 pm and would need to be home by 10:30 pm to feed the baby, which just doesn't give me enough time. Damn.

I'm up for riding out too. Leaving from farringdon, available from 6 ish.

Out. Messing about in boats instead. Have a good one.

In but riding right at the back, reserving my right not to ride there or back and warning you that I might have to stop for a little cry every 500 metres or so.

Can't wait!

Just looking at trains, thought I'd mention the train from Victoria is at least 20 mins faster than the one from Blackfriars. I need a few more miles before I attempt this 'riding out' malarky

Looks like a small enough group for 1 train, so aim for Victoria 19:07. Gets in at 19:44, if you are riding out aim to meet that. Anyone needs my mobile in case they are running late or whatever drop me a pm. Long time since we've done this route and it may be a tad unfamiliar, so best to keep the group together tonight - garmins may be called upon...

Maybe worth removing ride-outers from the list?

Have the route in my Garmin so happy to assist with navigational duties at either end of the bunch.

i'm probably going to flake, I've had two punctures in two days, and probably need to buy a new tyre.

Man I finally looked at the elevation profile - regret not having gears. Doh!
