Chiltern Hundreds CC Ride 7 June 2009

[ianrauk]

i'm up for this, be happy to meet peeps at Clapham Junction... or elswhere

 

[Sittingduck]

Looks like the ride to Watford will be easy then, as we'll be able to draft the flying Roubaix all the way up there

Are you cycling all the way up from Kent Ian or training it into town first?

 

[ianrauk]

Will cycle to CJ first mate...not that far

 

[Sittingduck]

Cool - need to swing over to Kew to hook up with Redjedi then across to Windsor to meet Peter and CoG if he''s going? The run from Clapham J to Kew is pretty nice though.

Anyone else coming from the SE side that wants to meet us and come via Kew & Windsor or are you guys taking a more direct A5'ish route?

 

[ianrauk]

just let me know what time you want to meet

 

[Peter]

I could meet you in Datchet - say the train station at around 8:45, that would give us plenty of time (1h 45m) to get to Watford for 10:30. Only 19 miles

In the words of Hannibal Smith; I love it when a plan comes together

I have a potential route mapped out via reasonable roads from CJ-Kew-Datchet (21 miles dead). Check it out

Ian - how about we meet at 7am by CJ Station - giving us ample time to cover the 21 miles @ 14mph avg (with 15 mins or so to spare, just incase)?

Redjedi - we will be arriving at Kew about 7:30 does this seem ok to you?

Cheers,
SD

I'm aiming to cycle to Watford Junction from St Evanage.
Not sure of the route as yet.

Wedding in Coventry that day (wife just told me). Sorry folks. Looks like I'm missing a great day out.

Mr CoG, how very inconsiderate of the bride & groom to organise a wedding on such an important day. Do they not know you are a keen cyclist and would they consider moving the wedding date?

 

[Sittingduck]

Guilty enough to ride to Cov?
You could be there by the time they open the bar at the reception! You'll be half way there mid-way through the ride....

 

[topcat1]

I'll be going up the A5, as Lee says there is a nice hill, Brockley hill that'll wake you up but it's direct , did it this morn 1hr 25m from the embankment to watford junction.


B&D will there be any lunch stops?

Sounds good to me. You'll find me next to Syon Park on the London Road.

I take it the early start is so we have time for breakfast at Watford before the ride?
or are you just taking into account Aperitif's Garmin getting us lost taking us on a "small" detour

 

[Sittingduck]

A little of both reasons sounds reasonable to me
See you at SP 07:30.

I have a Garmin.
You have a Syon Organiser...

Actually, I know that corner fairly well and I could take you up via Ruislip, along Ducks Hill Road and Rickmansworth Road for a nice little leg burner, do the nice flat tour and bring you back via Batchworth Hill - behave!

Mr 'Teef

Are you going to be joining us on this little jaunt?
