Roydon Rite of Spring

The season opener for softies

So the clocks have gone back and we've celebrated that thing where the bunny gets nailed to a cross for for stealing chocolate eggs from baby chickens, which means it's time for a bike ride in Roydon.

38 lollypop shaped miles of the finest, and mostly flat, Hertfordshire lanes. Featuring a final 10 mile sprint to the pub (don't follow Ludwig) for the strong, the brave and the foolish.

Train from Liverpool St 19:11 arrives Roydon at 19:44

Return trains at 22:13, 22:30, 23:13 and last train 23:44

Train out, ride back.

Forecast looks decent enough - dry, headwind on the way out, tailwind for the sprint home. Will bring a flapjack or two.

I'm in.

This will be first ride out with you guys. Keen as.

Prov in depending on if my bottom feels better about sitting on a saddle by then.

Pondering

Good to have you along, just have to do the obligatory check that you've read the guidelines...

This is a good route to start on if anyone who hasn't ridden with us before is considering it.

Pondering

Do it.

@biarittz

Or not. It's a bit far for you to get home.

Especially at your age.

would like to be there,

Crash at yours?

I'll chuck a blanket in the shed for you.

Done!

Dibs train

am trying to work out a plan for this. possibly train to waterloo, ride to liverpool st, train out, ride, train back to liverpool st by which point i'll have missed trains home so will need to ride back west

seems a bit complicated

Bike in the back of an Uber XL back and forth to Roydon, obvs.

I might ride this if it isn't fixed exclusive, but can't remember what the rules are any more.

I was going to suggest the TFL overground but that looks fubared this week.

No riding off the front, no stretching the pace. Gears carry the beers.

Have day off on Fri, so my involvement was looking good. But wife has plans Thurs night, but wife also changes her mind, so I may still make it lastminute.com
