Ok now I have to decide how to get there. For some reason I'm getting an irrational concern about cycling on my own in the dark to Whitstable. This has got to stop, I did LEL ffs. I do have some concerns (real ones) over my fitness level but it won't improve unless I push it so my plan A is cycle to Whitstable, do ride, cycle home. Plan B is get the train back from Whitstable.

Me too, if the weather isn't too frightful that is.

If you're feeling unfit, I'm not sure intending to do 170-odd miles in one go is a good idea!
Why not Plan C? Train to Whitstable, do ride, see how you feel afterwards and then either ride home or train home.

Weather is looking OK. A bit chilly at 6°, light south-westerly breeze but no real rain.

Trying to avoid train packed with drunks although less packed in January.
In light of very recent events, I may not be along at all. Will need to see how the knee does.

Aha - I've subsequently been put in the picture. Hope you're OK. See how you feel, then stick with Plan C.

But possibility of unreal rain?
I'll bring my unreal waterproofs.
Actually - without wishing to hex it - that's looking not bad at all.

I think I'm safe to say I'm a very unlikely now. Quite a bit of pain down my right hand side plus dizzyness and nausea mean I probably shouldn't be cycling any real distances. Dizzyness and nausea is thought to be just a combination of shock and leftovers from the adrenalin (I didn't bang my head at all)

- ...I don't have much idea - really.
You probably caught sight of yourself in the mirror.
Hope you are able to resume the 2014 quest for enjoyment soon, Mart - speedy recovery. m
