Friday Night Ride To Whitstable. 19th Aug 2016

[mmmmartin]

Arse. Am in Norway.
Would it be the same if I did my own FNRttC? Same idea, different coast.....

 

[TimO]

You are spoiling him.

He's The Ambassador ?

Arse

Balls

Is there something you want to tell us - or are you just turning into Father Jack?

 

[Wobblers]

Just pitching it at the level of my audience.

So you've managed to muster a substantial improvement to your usual faire at last? Well done!

 

[AlexB]

Signed up, but likewise, not enamoured of the new start point. I agree that getting from HPC can be a pain, but really not a fan of the London Bridge/Tower Bridge part of town.

Possibly (out of my jurisdiction - I'm just guessing) March / April / May of next year.
Maybe.
Really depends on the say-so of Tim......

Hmm, I fancy this but not sure family stuff might get in the way. Let me see...

Dates will be set over the winter once all the ride leaders have discussed and agreed when they're available. Some rides get moved around later, depending on what our halfways stops have to say.

My estimate is we'll have a list posted in January.

@Brains suggest you sign up to our newsletter so you'll get notified as soon as possible.

Just looked and there are no more "classic" HPC to Coast rides after this one this year I've messed up my diary commitments good and proper over the past few months. FNRttC to be given higher priority in 2017!

But back on topic - have a good time everyone!

Just to say............one of my regrets is that I didn't move the start from Hyde Park Corner. There's little shelter, no loos and no coffee, and, most importantly, it's not a particularly safe take-off. Now that Johnson's bike lane has stripped all the joy out of the run along the Embankment the case for a change is overwhelming.

However....for future use. The Understudy bar on the South Bank is open until 2am and most Victoria trains allow one to change on to a Waterloo train at Clapham Junction. Just a thought.

 

[Flying Dodo]

It's a good idea!

I find it's normally the most stressful bit of the whole ride. I don't like it.

You want to try getting 80 people to concentrate at the start and staring down taxi drivers, matey! It was a miracle there weren't skidmarks all the way down Constitution Hill

It only really worked well when Titus or his colleague was with us.

The ride along the bankside to Montague Close, and under London Bridge is lovely late at night. One is supposed to walk at the Oxo Tower, though
