Butlins or Bust - Echappée Escapades Rd.4

Rule #5

Is that the one about frame pumps?

It's htfu one ;)

Such a hustler. I bet you already have one foot on that imaginary podium.

@youramericanlover @xkittyx should we attempt a groupsave train ticket for the journey home, or pre-book something? Trains from Barnham -> victoria apparently.

I'm more than happy to groupsave it back, but I think it's ambitious of me to book ahead for Barnham. I'll be playing it by ear on the day.

registered, feel the need for an 'epic'

Fitted the 39x21 - hilarious around town but not quite as spinny as I was imaginng. Route looks great!

Yeah. I'm excited for this.

Mind to share it on here?

I will do so, though I feel like etiquette would be to post it after the ride as the SE people have organised it as an event and encouraged teams etc. Though it looks like @jammy is an SE member so might leave it to him if he wants to post it. Happy to PM it to anyone who is going but didn't receive the route.

Fair point, I can wait for after the ride. Have loads of fun chaps, smash it!

Had a quick look at the Route over Ranmore today on the way to Peaslake for trail lolz.

@jammy has chosen the steepest way up. Thanks Obama!

Looked at the weather, fixing crud catchers on......

Good luck for tomorrow y'all.

See you tomorrow team lufguss!

Winsuit option has been put aside in favour of clothing better suiting the conditions

Agreed

As an addendum to anyone looking at the bail out points, as far as I can tell, there are no trains past Guildford tomorrow, with everything being diverted via busses to Woking. The furthest south I can find is West Clandon which is about 4 miles west of Guildford (Clandon station) which runs to Clapham Junction/Victoria, which I guess is where I'll be aiming for, probably leaving the route at Gormishall or Grafham

Edit: So from Ansteadbrook that would be 20 miles back to Clandon

This thread's been quiet. I suspect EPIC SUFFERING is taking place.

Its pretty grim down here, strong winds, rains set in for good,,,,, suppose i was lucky my Garmin died so I used Google maps to get to Barnham station,,, theres going to be muddy drowned peoples out there

This was hard

And punctury

And we narrowly avoided drowning within earshot of the coast

I had a sense of humour failure and @youramericanlover and I ducked out pretty early.
I imagine the bits of SDW people will be doing in the wet will be pretty sketchy.
