It's at 7:00; I thought it was a bit later.
Daft idea!

07:00 is the first one
I bet they want to do the longer route
I bet they do too, I'm just thinking more of the social aspect now
Plus i get the feeling one group will be waiting a while on the other at the food stop (I'm not sure which group it will be)
Kind of, yeah...I bet they want to do the longer route
But in the face of dwindling numbers, sticking to a single group might be more appropriate. There's always the option of going up and back down the String instead of hanging about the harbour waiting for the ferry at the end.
Will I now be the only one on the train?

If we get there early enough we could offer out discount to anyone else appearing who looks like they will be buying a ticket? How much is full price?

Assuming my knee/hip pain is improved, I'll be going by train too...

Sounds like a plan rasmus, if we are hanging about no point in not stretching the old legs

Are you doing any stretching before you ride or when it gets painful?

Looking at the route two. I can see us finishing it in a good time as a group. 35 km in middle are flat enough we should get a decent speed up. Maybe I'm just getting my metres to feet comparisons mixed up

Are we aiming for the 4:40 return? Trying to manage expectations of SWMBO as we're out on Saturday night. Out cold most likely!

440 is my aim. 4hrs of riding with a 45-60 min stop depending on service at cafe should get us back then, with contingency for nudist beach investigating ....

4:40 return is the aim but with these rides you just never know what might happen

3 hours 4 minutes is my best time for round the island but I believe the 'record' is about 2.5 hours! Not in any way boasting here but a more leisurely circuit of the island shouldn't take any more than 4.5 hours
Anyway have a good day out and I hope the weather gods are kind to you.
