[Lee gg]

Hope you have had a tetanus jab.

Gawd! You'll be Jacobs'd by the end of the day.

Are you going on a mini bus or solo rider ? What part of sudbury ( how close to Braintree are you ).

If this was to me- I'm a couple of miles from Sudbury and going on a coach laid on by the Boxford bike club (BBC) they take you and your bike drop you off near by then pick you up from Regent's Park (London zoo) for £35. Seemed the easiest and possibly cheapest option, plus it was the recommendation from someone who's done it differently at least three times and they preferred the coach option!
I'm entered as part of our clubs 4 person mixed team entry.

Cheers mate but all sorted, yeah that's Boxford, yeah they are a well attended club with very good social rides, I'm a member of Sudbury CC though but they are happy to fill the bus! Your mate is not Clive is it by any chance?

Lol, I ride with Clive's son, he's a good mate! He told me his dad has just joined. Clive came with us to Snetterton track charity ride last year.
Small world.

I've just come through a house move so feeling massively unprepared for this ride!

I'm staying in the Docklands holiday inn, is the ride from here to the start fairly straight forward or will road closures block me off?

Cycle Lane straight to Stratford, should be easy.

There will be so many cyclists about that csn just have to go with the flow snd follow the bike in front The email we all received at the end of june had links to a map which showed the sign posted routes to the start. It is probably on their web page. There is a signed route from docklands.

Thanks for this. I finally got round to reading the last magazine we received this evening, and saw reference to that late June email but I didn't recall seeing it. I checked my emails and found I filed it in Trash!! I have it now so will check the map and sign posted routes...that will be a weight off my mind as last thing I need is being late for my start time because I got lost lol.


The next challenge is getting to Waterloo station from the finish...and traveling light enough that a change of clothes can go in the kit bag supplied. Anyone any idea how big they are?

Did it link to the routes map only from the section for motorists and not the section for those staying locally and cycling, like the 46 version?

Big enough to hold a deuter cycling rucksack, so plenty for a change of light clothing, shoes etc

Excellent, I just need to get deck shoes, shorts and another teeshirt in and I'm done.

There are signed routes from all the approved caparks, you just need to locate your nearest carpark as it shows all the closed roads and signed routes.
