Hoo Peninsula Sunday 20th May

[User10571]

I got an email saying User10571 had posted but I assume he changed his mind!

.....

I did.

And then I changed my mind. Slagging off the Beeb wasn't going to help.....

That's allowed.

Isn't it?

Fingies crossed that weather behaves on Sunday.

 

[martint235]

Oh is that's what it was about. The BBC do have a very pessimistic outlook for the weekend compared to everyone else.

Fingers and toes crossed.

 

[User10571]

Sorry to say that I'm not going to be able to make this one Martin et al.

'Hope you have a good ride!

 

[martint235]

That's a shame User10571. Hope you're doing something fun!!

Current list:

Martint235
Ianrauk
Mice
AnythingbutVanilla
Paulrider
CrockofGold
Wanda2010 (maybe)
I'm going to change it to an 8am start at Trafalgar Sq near the Lions at the south side. The road closures make it a pain getting from HPC. If anyone hasn't got my mobile number, please pm me.

I'm going to do a recce tomorrow and let the pub know we'll be there.

Martin - Mrs rb58 is unwell, so I've pulled out of tomorrow's Audax. Which means I *might* be along for this, but I won't be able to confirm until late tomorrow if she starts to recover.

Ah. I'm seriously thinking of postponing it now. 2 out of the 3 sites I've checked are giving rain and a headwind on the way out which isn't good. I'll check the weather again in the morning but by the radar maps it's likely to get worse rather than better.

Hope Mrs RB recovers and feels better soon.

 

[martint235]

Sorry everyone but it's looking like we'd get wet so I'm postponing this ride. I'll try to arrange it again but June is looking very busy. Greenwich Cyclists sometimes do a ride out and if I see anything I'll post it up

Sorry!

Sorry!

Martin, have you considered the forthcoming bank hols as a possible - given that London Thamesport is unlikely to be operational on those days....

 

[martint235]

I have. The Monday is a borderline possibility but I'm not sure. At midnight on the Tuesday I'm setting off for Nelson which is around a 250 miler so Tuesday will be spent sleeping, Monday I should probably be resting.

 

[ianrauk]

postponed.. bah.. bunch of wusses

Well if you're not feeling too despondent after a drubbing from Bayern, you can let us know how wet you get!!!

 

[PaulRide]

Another time - I am slightly relieved, as it means I can lend support to family on a busy day and earn more brownie points for future deployment.

 

[martint235]

I've just been out on a recce. Once you're on Hoo it's really nice. The only problem at the moment is the flies. There are seriously a lot of them I wouldn't recommend breathing through your mouth too much.

The pub is really nice and friendly and as User10571 mentioned the baguettes are huge. £6.50 for steak and stilton mayo with shoestring fries!!

 

[ianrauk]

next weekend then?

 

[martint235]

next weekend then?

Nope next weekend I'm getting incredibly p*****d for my birthday
