That reminds me - I forgot to check if they stock Evian.

Errr what reminds you of Evian? If you're discussing mineral water (excellent subject btw!) do you think they keep Perrier on the premises?

I'd love to do this ride but I'm working until 12. If I was to leave Hemel around 12.30 following the route in reverse at an average speed around 15-16 mph, whereabouts roughly would we meet? I would then join the ride back until the 59 mile mark where I would turn left back towards home.

I'd reckon we'd still be in the pub!

As it's only 16 miles back from Hemel.

I'll probably do that then if that's o.k, and tag along for a few miles.

Food of Champions for me please. (That's ham, egg and chips). Is it OK if Mrs Hall ponders on the day, in case the specials board takes her fancy?

 

[Flying Dodo]

Absolutely fine.

Absolutely fine.

Rides like this are good.

Mick, what time you thinking of setting off?

I've been debating for a few weeks on this ride now, as its my Mums 60th party tomorrow night and as much as I wanted to get the train up, it would mean leaving home at 7am.. with a sore head.. which just does not happen... And it would be oh so great to see everyone too.

I make it about 40miles from my home (Whitton), so about 9:15am I would have thought, for a 1pm meet?

That is of course is thats okay with FD?

As before, Flying Dodo, please. I'll be at Northampton station well before 10.30 a.m., ride for an hour or so and return to Northampton without sampling the menu.

Then it's off to Cobblers v Plymouth. Pedalled a bit around the Forest of Bowland last wekend before Accrington Stanley v Cobblers. Proper football at a proper ground: away fans on an open terrace, just like the days of my youth!

Cheers.

Have been mapping, with gradients in mind and am okay with this.. http://ridewithgps.com/routes/1018584 but then again, I am okay with long fast boring roads..
