Addiscombe will be in action Am and Pm around the Lingfield circuit if you fancy watching some racing... Quite a nice ride over if you get a few people together.

Anybody fancy riding out to Lingfield then. Can make it a stop of point if anyone fancys a longer ride. Be good to give a cheer and a wave to our budding racers.

Weather looks ok for tomorrow, cold but plenty of sunshine and a far lighter wind than saturdays.

The 3rds start at 9.30, for around 2.5hours, course is here [url]http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=1708166[/url]

In the thirds Paul T, Matt D and Dan G. (and myself)

123s at 13.30, with George riding.

Perhaps get there for the end of the 3rds race, around 11ish onwards. Then go to the race HQ at Edenbridge Leisure Centre for a cuppa? And a chat with us mere 3rd cats who will be looking drained but relieved, and a chat with George who will no doubt be raring to go. Just a thought for you, maybe see you tomorow at some point...

Cheers Adam, sounds like a plan, what you say Alan.

CSS is a good place for me to meet, just a case of what time then really.

I was planning on doing a ride without much stopping, as I wimped out on saturday, but am happy to go along with the majority. And in any case, cheering on the ACC guy's will be good fun. Shame I'm not fit enough to be racing myself :?

Is 10.00am at CSS ok, or maybe 9.30?

Shall we say 9.30 at CCS then guys. Can make it a slightly longer route out there, support the guys for a bit then shoot off again to get a few miles in. Hopefully my legs will be working better than they did on saturday.

oh and I dont know the way to Edenbridge, had a quick look at the link Adam kindly put up and I'll print off a map if needs be.

Any other takers, will be a good ride out and be nice to see some of the Agreeables racing.

If you fancy something longer for the fitness Steve then Jon H and I are racing near Bishop Stortford tomorrow, he's first off at 8:41 so you'd need to leave a little earlier :lol: .

9.30 is fine - I have a rough idea - we can go via godstone - there is a route trough a private girls school which is a nice cut through, then over tilburstow hill which is a hard drag past godstone farm.

Nice one Adrian, the more the merrier.

9.30 at CSS it is then though Im a bit worried as to why Alan knows a route through a private girls school. :lol:

Andrew :mrgreen: , as much as I'd love to come support you guys even I draw the line at getting up at stupid o'clock for a bike ride esp when its still going to be below freezing outside.

Spoilsport, it'd only be an 80 odd mile ride there, and then back again obviously as I couldn't give you a lift.
