January ride for fish n chips

[frank9755]

That's actually a good way for me and Martok to get home as we'd only have to duck down the B158 and down the A1000.

Would that involve going over the North Downs?

I'm sure to say more stupid things during the year so you may as well get the mileage in now.

Sunday the 30th of Jan from HPC to Maldon via Blackmore. The main idea being that of a 100 mile ride with stops at 25, 50 and 75 miles. Leaving Wellington Arch, Hyde Park Corner at 8am sharp (meeting from 7:30). Lunch in The Old Ship.

So let's get this right, you volunteered to do a 100 mile ride with no idea of where it was going or when? Now that's enthusiasm!!!

both saturday and sunday are fine for me (as my mrs is on call). riding with cc folk is fun on it's own and destination is not that important . i've done my first long ride of the year last saturday (175 miles), so i should manage this one as well.

Sorry if I'm being dim, but where can I get a copy of the GPX (preferably TCX) file?

Also, I'll be returning via the Dartford Crossing rather than the Woolwich Ferry.

I'm picking up my shiny new bike on Saturday all being well. Excited little boy in me says ride it on Sunday. Sensible, safe grandad in me says try it on a few shorter rides first. Help!

I'll share the bike routetoaster one after dinner.

There is important information right through the thread. I think you really should read it all.

This is the final outbound route. I've not finished manually adding the extra course warnings for up coming junctions but for those who want it clicky below. You can export to whatever you like on the summary tab. Summery, oh I wish.

Outbound route

Homeward route

The homeward route also takes in the ford that Del posted about on page 9. If it's flooded then we'll head back North and swing anticlockwise onto the B1002.

EDIT : Luke I tried ridewithgps and found that it did the same craziness as mapmyride. I've made a note of the crazy routing and I'm going to have a ride there to see if what they are suggesting is correct.

Good work Abs but you can relax a bit now.

We've got a destination, a halfway stop and a suggested route. That is all we need, anything else we'll take care of when we get there.

I'm really looking forward to this. Thanks for taking the time to organise everything Abs! See you at HPC
