England : Bedfordshire Luton Slightly Hilly House Warming Cake ride - Sat. 12th January 2013

Really sorry but I'm out of this as well as I'll be spending the afternoon letting builders have a look at my damp patches.

Sorry to hear this.






And it took mammoth effort to resist urge to comment!

Rebecca/Adam - I'm definitely out. Sorry. Cross-country race with the running club that afternoon.

No worries- I know how you love your running! Have a great day!

I'll meet you in St.Albans for the rest of the ride to Luton

Sure. Nearer the date we'll sort out a time etc

I went round the route today. Glorious sunshine, hardly any cars, loads of other people out on bikes. I have found that Kimpton High Street has more potholes than the Somme. I started putting warning markers on my GPS and gave up. Apart from that, the only other problem was a 200m stretch of road under 30 cm of water! I'll have to sort out a work-around, so will post a new GPX link in due course.

[QUOTE 2234095, member: 1314"]It's pencilled into the kitchen calendar. I'll ride up with Tall Martin and meet Steve. Musa? Greg Collins? Meet HPC as well? I'm not coming if it's raining, though. Beers in London afters? My fixed with the more sensible gear ratio is back on the road.[/quote]
We're looking at about 3 hours for HPC to Luton for the ride up. The ride down may be slower.

 

[musa]

Seem to have double booked. But ill see what can be done in the nect couple days

 

[martint235]

For those riding up from HPC, here's the route. It's around 30 miles so 2 hours but I'll say meet HPC at 7.30 to give us 2.5 hours to get there in case of mechanicals etc.

Jay, I'd say we'd be in St Albans around 9 - 9.15 at a guess.

Just finished The Doc's ride with plenty in the tank so I'm now a definite for this ride, as long as you chaps wait for me on the hills and it's not p*ssing down!

 

[Mice]

Decision made - yes please FD! Please can you add me to the list?

Am starting to look forward to it now!

I'll meet you at the junction of Batchwood drive and the Harpenden road (opposite the Harvester, 33 1/2 miles into the ride up from HPC) I'll be there for 9. Does your mobile still end in 257?

 

[martint235]

Yep still the same number. Is yours still the same?

 

[jayonabike]

if it ends in 624 then yes

 

[martint235]

if it ends in 624 then yes

All sorted then. Let's hope it doesn't rain as much as last time I was up that way.

 

[jayonabike]

Yes, it did fall out the sky rather quick that day.
