@Stephen Piper has offered to run the ride on the August date if there is still interest?

Good point thanks I will shout a Mod.OK, it's in the diary. The thread title needs changing too.
@summerdays
Any chance of the thread title being changed to show the date of 3rd September ?

Re the 6th. Same rendezvous as the OP then, Ashford International. Is 10 am a convenient time? I do not use the trains so if there is a better meet time let me know.

10am is good for me. Won't be using the train, will ride down. Only 50 miles.@rb58, means an early Pollhill meet.

Possibly. I might be out on the 7th with some gym buddies now. Will confirm by Tuesday.

Can anyone local recommend anywhere near Ashford station, sorry, Ashford International, that is good for breakfast?
I'm partial to the spectrum that lies between eggs florentine /benedict (yeah right, in Ashford) and full english - the eatery in the international side of the station doesn't really cut it with their (mostly) unwrap-and-eat fare.
I've done a bit of cafe / Ashford googling but not come up with too many worthwhile results.

No but 10 miles along the ride is Dymchurch which is full of cafes.

Yebbut, thanks - but I don't want to hold up or disrupt the ride.
My plan (if you can call it that) is to pitch up in Ashford early (à la Goods Shed in Canterbury stylee), feed my face, and then blend seamlessly with the ride.
It's not a game-changer (I'm not a 100% certainty at this point, anyway) but I thought I'd ask to see if anyone knows of anywhere.
Back up plan is to score some breakfast in the vicinity of STP before boarding the HS1.
Hmmm... I foresee a nap onna train following that option....
That might work.

Pie & mash?
There's a line.
And yes, you have crossed it
Please be advised.

Somewhat in contradiction, and controvertially, at times, any ol' $h!t will do

Well as it happens I had eggs florentine for lunch today....très bon indeed.
Now if you could just furnish me with your thoughts on kedgeree (as everyone knows the single greatest breakfast known to the human race) I'd be grateful.
