I saw this ride coming up on Saturday 21st Oct from Hub Velo in Hackney,

https://www.hub-velo.co.uk/classic-falling-leaves-gravel-ride-london/

Is anyone riding it or has anyone ridden it before and would care to comment on it?

Nightmare for me to get to the start of this so cannot see me making it peeps ☹️

Lovely, thanks.
No idea if I can get to the start from East Kent but I will investigate.

Ooh, I’m right tempted by this. Is the overnight location decided yet?

Aye, I won’t just bugger off ;)

Thoroughly enjoyed the company of the fellas on the South Downs Way trip that @platypus organised a few weeks back, so I will try to attend this as well please.

I may have to leave the party early as I need to ride home to Broadstairs but it will be nice to at least meet up and ride down to the marsh.

From memory there is the word ‘dot’ that needs replacing with a dot (full stop or ‘period’).

Aye, signed up 😀

I very nearly turned up on Saturday with my CX bike, what a nightmare that would of been. The SDW is seriously rough in places, I would hate to do it on anything other than an MTB.

I am glad I chose to take the mountain bike.

Sure did @Howard and it was good to ride with you 👍

Deffo. Look forward to that.

Just got home.
Lovely to meet you fellas, a most enjoyable outing, just got a bit confused with everyone’s accommodation arrangements so I decided to head out on my own from my B&B this morning.
I may be wrong but I thought you guys would probably have a reasonably leisurely starting time and I needed to be at the end before 15:00.
Thank you everyone, I loved it.

As for me, my connection into London leaves my local station so bloody early that I will be at Waterloo at about 07:15, hence I may as well get an early train out of London and just hang around in Winchester.

I’m leaving the East Kent coast at 04:35 too 😲

I will be on the 07:39 from Waterloo 😲

Worked like a charm. Thanks @jameso

@jameso was good enough to add me to the FB group but I get an error saying the group isn’t available or is for an audience that I am not part of.
Anyone else had this?

Bo#*ocks.

Oh well maybe next time.
Enjoy yourselves and ride safe.

It is mighty decent of you to make the effort, thanks.

Can I just confirm though, what dates are now set for this please?

Ta.

So who is deciding the dates for this then, is it @platypus

Just so I know if I can make it, that’s all?

19/20 May is a no-can-do for me but if that’s when everyone else can do it then I will happily wait for another time :)

I’m up for it.

I’m in. Mountain bike though for me. Wimp.

Great bits of kit these.

Remember that this is one of the (very) few Garmin devices that will bother to ask you before it re-calculates your route if you deviate from the planned one. A VERY handy feature (that can be turned off it need be).

Most Garmins these days just calculate you a new route whether you like it or not.
