Still showing as 24 degrees, both Saturday and sunday :D

Kat is now not doing the triathlon,. so potentially we could move this to later in the day on sunday, or to Saturday, with a view to getting back into central London in time for some nocturne akshun.

Also, I think I might take the bike on the train, rather than cycle the whole lot.

Any thoughts?

My only thought is that I need to buy some cereal today!

I don't mind which day it is, will probably still cycle though.

Not bothered on the day, although Saturday might not be so great if people are planning to ride all the way to the nocturn. Would be happy to meet somewhere west-ish to lead out if T4 is train-ing it

I'd prefer Sunday.

^^ Me too - I am going Nocturne on saturday as well. Trying to do it all in one day might be hard. Plus for TP saturday is more busy than sunday.

Sunday it is then. But maybe we could leave a bit later, since we now don't have to meet triathlon woman?

Will it be like this in any way: http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=Ml7J3K6p2E8&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DMl7J3K6p2E8 ??

^^ I don't think we'd want to leave too much later though. So many rides, so little time! I imagine it'll take us 2 hours to get there...

^Ok let's leave it at 9.30 departure. Now we just need to sort out tickets!
I might still cycle...

I'm in the queue for stealth right now, so excited!!

Kill it in the face!
Or go on it so many times that you're sick!
Weeeee!

That's the plan! RIDE ALL THE RIDEZ!

Now we just need to sort out tickets!

Sure thing. Shall I plot a return or are people taking the train back?

I reckon a 25 mile ride out + day in the sun might make me want to train back. But I may be wrong.
Return plot away, good woman!
We can always groupsave home again if we so desire.

If you book online now for £35 instead of £43, which would make it ... £17.50 with the kellogs voucher.

Warning! You can't use any of the online advance deals with any other offer.

If you want to get 2 for 1 action via the Kellogs vouchers you need to buy on the day, at the park, paying the on the day price as it were.

Interestingly we did the opposite last time we went - go on the small rides first, and then by 2/3pm the ques were much shorter for the bigger rides.
Thanks for the warning about the voucher

^^ Yes - this does work. I think if we are there by 11.30 we should be ok. The main rush is from like 10-1 getting in. The new attraction will be busy all the time, so we should just take the hit and queue for that. But getting in some of the smaller rides in first is a good plan. The wet rides are all last right?
