ayeah!
no floor ok? or bring a ground sheet if you've got one.

looking forward to sleeping in a puddle

Thanks. I think I have plenty of space to carry them, so all good.

Probably not using your bar bag -- handlebars are too narrow:) Maybe someone else wants it?

Have a Pelago large front rack to borrow btw.

@pit -- are you still undecided? Doubt you will be the slow one.

Stealth green tent fly is looking more likely now. Weather forecast has turned a bit more pessimistic.

Got my train tickets from/to Liverpool street. Did not bother with bicycle space reservation, hope it doesn't bike back, especially on the leg past Ipswich. 4 bikes per train there.

Shelter: +1C rated bag, inflatable mat, bivy sack. If one or two of you need a roof over your head then I can ditch the bivy sack and bring a tent fly instead. Designed for 3 people, tipi style.

Route looks good, flat-ish; coastal vegetation and sights should be very different to Chilterns I'm guessing.

Contemplating taking or leaving luxuries like cooking kit.

Can't wait!

Booking train ticket back.
Brighton > Victoria is £16.20 but I'm getting off at Clapham Junction.
If you look up Brighton > CJ it's £18.70 so don't fall for this trap... wtf

Tien Hiang on 14 Rue Bichat. Expect queues, but they were reasonably quick to prepare our takeaway, canal is close by.
Slightly more expensive and not quick, still worth mentioning: Jah Jah By Le Tricycle, 11 Rue des Petites Ecures.

Now I’m in for sure:) thanks for accommodating for me!
Purezza is a good idea, haven’t been to that one yet.
Will bring loads of snacks so as not to rely on a cafe/pub along the way. But cool if you’re planning on stopping at one.

6am at Ham Gate?

Hilly! Great way to spend a Tuesday evening.
Nice meeting everyone!

Cheers @vilms5000
I see there are trains from Brighton > Victoria (via Hove and CLJ for other hope on/off options) every 30 mins. 2h 14mins for the full journey mentioned. £18.70

I mean en route to Richmond if you're riding to start...

Going from Brockley, got a nice quiet route to Streatham, I understand you're in Tooting? Name a place.

Tempted. Getting to Richmond is a PITA, but if you're riding from your house I could join you en route?

Anybody tried running 27.5 wheels on an Ogre? Curious if the canti studs get in the way.

Ogre with front suspension for use on trails - crazy?

Shame I just noticed this, will consider joining for next one.

Gonna miss the ride this weekend, y'all enjoy getting lost in the Badgerland!

Solid!
650b? And is that a Big Apple Tara for extra clearance?

Rad! Thumbs up for fork crown mounted light. I was on this.

Going over the bars is “pushing the limits”, not “lack of skill”

I’d pay to watch @pit do it. Bet it wouldn’t even be a fun watch how boring he’d make it look.

Thanks! Thought all black would have been “too easy”, very happy how it worked out.

Re weight, second what @mrJL said. Handles great, insanely stable so front panniers were a no brainer. Still (brutally) fun offroad with them.

Surface slime is my middle name!
