You're not thinking of something subversive like starting from Buckingham Palace first thing, heading out towards Windsor, and then trawling the nice little lanes around Bucklebury, are you?
 
Ah, 1066 and all that. :thumbsup:

That'll be 11:06 then - a bit late. This morning, I purchased valuable items for the next seance of rides. I'll post a pic in a minute, see if you can guess what it is!
Meanwhile, this is a relevant thing to behold:

Scintillating products from my Budgens downstairs: a tin of biscuits at half price already! (Who in their right mind pays £10 for a tin of f ing biscuits I ask myself? Then I ask myself "why did you pay £5 for a tin of f ing biscuits, you dope?" )

MY biscuits deserve protection so, as well as being ready to repel the Bognor sea dragons, I will stand guard over the custard creams of love and the wafers of wonderment until that happy day*.

*'That happy day' being when I get the tea brewed and indulge in a dunking session with aforementioned royal biscottis, (Nasty folk among you might consider dunking the royals in hot tea - now that would be nasty :whistle:)

I trust they gave you a hefty discount off that fine china what with the mug of the wrong brother being alongside the delightful Kate on the mug.:biggrin:
 
Ok I have now finally ridden my proposed route to Hastings. The good news is that it is ridable. The bad news is that it is rather up and down and the halfway stop is at about 42 miles out of about 72.
It goes, Whitstable rout as far as Deptford then Lewisham, Lee,Eltham, Sidcup, Footscray, Swanley (24hr Asda), Farningham, West Kingsdown, Wrotham, Mereworth, Padlock Wood, Kippings Cross (24hr M&S coffee etc.), Horsmonden, Goudhurst, Hartley, Hawkhurst, Seddlescombe, westfield, Hastings.
The hill after Seddlescombe on finally joining the A21 is a bit of a kick in the teeth. I'll see if crossing the A21 north of Seddlescombe and going ca Battle might be easier

Huh! vi'd rather go to a wedding. (Not one of my own though - far too expensive!) :smile:

God on you Adrian - do you mind where Her Majesty hangs you? Oceania is fave for the proles...

'God?' Well -a turn up for the mis-spelling books! 'Good!' might edge it...

Need it be so taxing? Or was the intention for this to be a ride for the hardened and grizzled ones?

Wasn't Dengie Marshes a consideration at one point?

Hill-less and all that...

By all means, say "Bollox" to me...


All my fondest...

Provided you guys accept a German (on an iconic Britsh bike, though) on such a national night of pride, I'd love to join this fantastic rolling street party.

Unfortunately I'll not be able to come. My cousin has organised a family get together in Cumbria that weekend and, as these occasions are very rare unless someone dies or gets married, I'll be doing that.

Nevertheless, I hope you have a very pleasant ride!
