london foccers meet and ride-april

[steeeve66]

So we meeting at blackheath tea hut at 9am ? glad mines blue by the way !

Reckon it'll need to be 9 if we want to be at the Ace by 10 - those of us meeting at Shooters Hill; it probably makes more sense to meet on Blackheath instead doesn't it?

[Exupnut]

9 @ blackheath it is then. I'll be there.

8 sleeps to go. This is gonna be the longest ride we have done yet. Blackheath >ace>oxford area and back home. I'm thinkin for me 250 mile trip.  Best wrap up warm for this one people.  For the riders s'east, ur gonna rack some miles for this one so BE WARM.....ED!!!!  Shitty cafe @ 9 .... See u there

hi all............i`ll get the maps out tomorrow and finish the route off....i`ll work out a better mileage figure as well,exupnut,that 250 miles sounds a bit high ,probs a bit long if its not going to be all that warm,i`ll post final details tomorrow and then we can agree between us whats best 

[Dead Eye]

Pretty sure I did over 250 miles on the last ride out since I hail from the north of London so for those towards the south-east I wouldn't be too surprised if they manage similar or higher distances

[red98]

weathers been better than forcast over the last two days,nice bright morning here in south bucks,sun out and looking good....first part of the ride from the ace down to marlow wont have any hold ups as all m/a roads probs take about 30 /40 mins...road from marlow to henley is a bit slower following the thames.great road and part of my private race track since i was a teen on L plates ........ah,happy days....................................................................we can stop for a while at henley and pose for some piccies,if its quiet we can stop right next to the river with the bridge in the background.......well i hope thats wetted your appetites for what has the makings of a great day out.....any of you peeps out there who cant make your minds up about coming..just do it....we`re a friendly bunch...looking at the photos after the event is not the same as being there 
newbies especially welcome,we dont bite....well not all of us  :lol


hope to get out this weekend and ride the route,check mileage and places to stop,time taken etc........any questions ?

Just remember FOIL

First - Outside - Inside - Last

(x + y)(x + y) = x^2 + 2xy + y^2

Not that you actually care 

[irfletch]

I was thinking the self same thing, im sooo pleased you asked that question Exupnut, I for one will be sleeping much better now I think the answer is 8.55am at blackheath ! see you there

X=-b +/- the square root of b squared - 4ac all over 2a  ;-)

went out to ride the april route this afternoon,saturday afternoon not the best of times to go out but i do have a better idea of mileage now,didnt quite do the whole route but not far short.....couple of hazards i spotted,the m40 roundabot jct4 is covered in grit still and the surface is very poor so might change the route slightly,also the marlow / henley road is in a bad way,lots of pot holes and loose chippings for the first couple of miles so might swap to the other side of the river,was going to ride through reading town centre to pick up two more crossings of the river but lots of road works at moment so might go via caversham and loose one crossing.
  will re-write the route tomorrow and add mileage and anything else i can think of  :lol

[Exupnut]

Was u cold? And how were the new specs?
