Ooooh, it looks ok, thanks for the link h20.
I'll probably be travelling back off-peak, depends on my little legs and post ride munchies and thirst quenchisations.

Travelling from Whitstable (Kent) back to Dartford by train. Are non-folding bikes 'allowed' on the trains? Never tried this before.
-
I did my weekend ride early because the weather looks like its going to be nutters on Satdee and Sundee Ive got other stuff planned.
I ticked the Southend box today. 67.7 miles of hard but rewarding fixied fun.

Ta! It's an off cut of a ~1" hardwood plank IIRC from some project years ago, I screwed that to 2 uprights in the Workshop/Shed with hefty 3" woodscrews then screwed the hooky brackets with 25mm wood screws to the plank.
Being a tweaker I've set the (patented) "Hook-bit-Lifty-Uppy-Screws" at different heights to accommodate either 32C or 25C tyre/Rim sizes.
(Blinks awkwardly and pushes oversize spectacles back onto bridge of nose).

I use 2 of these.
Don't bin them, I placed a large woodscrew under the arm to lift it up so you can hook the wheel under easily. Like this...
Nobel level of geniusness IMO. It took a beer and a scratchy chin to work it out y'know :)

Aaah, cheers Tom (+many M's), I didn't know there was a forum routes database, apol's!
It appears to be biased towards the North a lot, I'd have to go miles out to pick up on that route up as I'm starting from Dirty Dartfud-> G'end-> across the mighty River Styx (aka Thames) to TurdBury-> the on't Southend.

'Forum approved route' to Southend per-chance?
Well, actually from Tilbury onwards to S'end, I'm ok up to T'bury, beyond that... Banjo's and Unicorns I've heard..

The Lord Clyde, perfect! Thanks Hoefla.
Thanks JurekB and H20 for the advice, I did it, whahey! Actually I went on to Herne Bay for some nosh then back to Whitstable for a quick Pint in the micropub before getting the train back. I've never done that before, a Fixie + train adventure for me :)
