January ride for fish n chips

[Aperitif]

Whitstable's good for me.

I kind of like the idea of going to new places, like Maldon this month, instead of ones we'll be going to anyway during the year, albeit during the day.

There must be plenty of places within 50-60 miles of London which would be worth visiting.

Oh really? Well, I'll be jiggered!

Is the overland not running from Amersham Charlie - it's only about 40 mins on the choo-choo isn't it?

 

[redjedi]

Ditto. Darned public transport cannot get me into town before 08:45.



Me me me, please.

You can take your bike on the underground from Chesham

No, 1st one out's about 08:00, which as you rightly say takes about 40m. POO.

Again, 1st one out is about 8:00.

It's a nightmare on the odd occasion when I have to work on a Sunday.

But thank y'all for the concern. I'll be thinking of you.

There's always this option Charlie.

Should get you nicely warmed up for the rest of the ride

 

[Aperitif]

Yes - start early Charlie, bust your nuts on Batchworth Hill and I'll give you a cup of tea halfway and some fud. Then I can go back to bed while you carry on to Maldon

Ah yes, the dangerous commute route. Done that one - never again. My normal one's nicer http://gb.mapometer....ute_583600.html

Trust that you did a 'salute to Grunwick' as you passed by on Chapter Road last week Charlie Interesting route. Once upon a time you would have been live target practice as you trailed through Chalk Hill!

Can someone give me a precis of what's going on? Have we got a date/route sorte? Aplogies for being lazy but I've still got 20 zillion threads to get through...

Going to Maldon on Sunday the 30th. At HPC @ 0730hrs for a 0800hrs departure.

Charlie: Train leaves Berko at 0708hrs and gets to Euston for 0745hrs - then ride the short distance to HPC. It's upto you.

Yup, I saw that one, but it's a bit tight for an 8:00 departure.

On route tea stop is organised just need numbers. I'm finalising the destination venue. Route is about 52-54 miles there from HPC. I've been ironing out the chaff and rerouting down nicer country roads and should have it finished shortly (Wednesday evening). Should have everything set this weekend.

Thanks Lee.

EDIT : I'll put up the current list of attendees (with their subnotes) later this evening.

 

[gbs]

pl count me in and if the medics rule me out next week (most unlikely) I will let you know instantly. I have never been to Maldon - looking forward to it.

And as it's part of Abs' century a month challenge there will be a return ride as well.

If anyone wants to get the train back, trains run every half an hour from Chelmsford but only as far as Stratford on that weekend.
