England : Kent Summer Cinque Ports Ride 6th Aug & 3rd Sept

[deptfordmarmoset]

Nigel has a possible excuse but you've met me several time Marmoset.

My lips are sealed on a public thread. (PMs welcome....)

I'm planning to be in the area on Saturday 6th. I'll be doing my own ride, at my own pace, on my own route, but I'll keep a lookout for people. And if I happen to find people going along at the right pace, into a headwind, well ... that would be perfick and I'll hide behind you but it's pretty unlikely.

I'm hoping to be in Camber some time between 1 and 2pm very approx, where I plan to eat some chips. And possibly a saveloy. And maybe drink a can of ginger beer.

I'll be approaching Camber along the coast from the Hythe direction via Dungeness with a pointless wiggle inland at one point. I'll be continuing from Camber to Rye, Appledore then up towards Tonbridge, on a route designed to be as flat as possible.

I may be tired and even grumpier and less communicative than usual.

A favourite.
I think I did say that sometimes, any old $h!t will do.

The Oasis cafe right opposite that fancy hotel/restaurant you liked serves chips.
You two could meet in middle and compare cuisine.

In a moment of uncharacteristic organisation I checked which station I wanted for Ashford International just now. Apparently I can go from Charing Cross but the 8:40 train doesn't arrive until 9:58 so I might be a couple of minutes late by the time I find you all.

I've managed to organise myself too and have booked myself on an Ebbsfleet train

I'll be making a rather horribly early start (7 am) and arriving in Ashford with plenty of time for coffee (9.18). Looking forward to the day .

Planning on being there just after that.

Edit: With Longshanks of course...

 

[Diggs]

Right, well you lot play nicely together and enjoy. Looks like should be a lovely one weather wise.
I shall look forward to seeing tips and what's in store for the September ride.

Where's he joining us?

 

[Hill Wimp]

I'm driving over so will get there for just after 9 and will be in or just outside the coffee shop in the Eurostar terminal where we are meeting.

If you want my mobile number in case you get lost PM me and I will pass it on.

It's a glorious day on the coast today and tomorrow is due to be even better.

Where's he joining us?

At the top of your hips...

 

[HertzvanRental]

Sort out any wrinkles so that the September racing snakes have a trouble free ride!

ENJOY!!

Have a good day tomorrow everyone. I'm tempted but google makes it 701 cycling miles from Skye to Deal, and even in 'following @ianrauk mode' that would be pushing it. Enjoy.

Cheers Rob.

Whilst we may trump you on the weather front tomorrow I think you may win hands down on the scenery.

Just let me know if you get any midges

I'll be on my tandem with yet another Steve as stoker, also Geoff, another local club rider, in tow.
