Winchester to London 100mile Ride 2nd July

[deckertim]

Sorry but I'm going have to pull out of this ride. I'm really struggling with feet and ankle problems and if I make the Wootton Bassett ride I think I'll then take a couple of months with few long rides. Sorry again

I saw your note about achilles tendonitis and you have my sympathy. I had this a few years back. It can be a tricky injury, where total rest won't help and neither will over exertion, so you need to get the balance right. Best of luck with your Wootton Bassett ride and I hope it comes off and goes well.

Cheers! My main objective is the WB ride, after that I'm happy to lay up for a while if I have to!

There's a nice pub called The Compassess Inn just north of your route in Gomshall, before Box Hill. It's the pub we've used a few times on the Olympic Road Race route. Lots of seating outside if the weather is good, plenty of furniture to lock to if not and good food.

Tim,
I'm going to drop out. Today has been my PBP entering, organising, arranging and thinking about day and I've decided to do another 600km audax - and the only one that I can do clashes with this.
Have a good ride,
Frank

Abs. Thanks we will go with this.
Just one week to go. Not sure about the weather yet. Westerlies forecast for Wednesday, lets hope they hold.

I don't think I'll set my sights at this ride but, if you verify your lunch destination I'd quite like to pootle over, have some lunch and pootle home again. That way I get the fun bits and don't spend all week sweating about whether I'll be able to keep pace.

I'm sure someone can keep me posted re an ETA or any change of plans via text.

Be good to see you Al...

Indeed!

Well thank you kind sirs, and it'll be a delight to see you as well. I'll work out a route for myself anyway that takes me South of Guildford and back round to home, should come in around 80 miles, but will pass several train stations

I need some help so I can edit the GPS route to take us to the Compasses. I tried using bikehike and with the google maps drag edit enabled, it then changes the whole of the rest of the route.

Anyone know a way to edit the route.

According to MetCheck this morning, the wind will be behind us at 252mph on Saturday morning. Should make for a fast ride
