I will be riding along (as near as possible) the full Stage 1 of TDF on Saturday 21 April.
There is a train service to bring us back into Charing X or Bromley South.
Estimated distance will be 135 miles, at a modest pace.
Please contact if interested

Yes Sylv, but I'm not that:

a) Fit
b) Hard
c) Masochistic
d) Mad

What do you call modest Paul? Your modest and mine are i expect completly different :lol:

Jon,

Nothing spectacular as I have a 25 the next day.

22's should do...

Seriously, the pace will be adjusted so that the slowest rider in the group will not be uncomfortable (usually me!!!). Bear in mind that it is a long day, with some big hills, we won't be rushing along.

Booking train in advance is really cheap if 4 are travelling together.
Sean, John Brian, are you all happy to go to Bromley South?

sorry Paul - I've been away for a while and did not see this about the train.. Bromley South would suit me fine...
bit surprised there are not more takers for this ride ? ps well done with the 400 miles in 4 days - excellent stuff...

cheers,

Paul I'll be up for this. Any idea how many bikes will be allowed on the train? I'd imagine the trains to the big smoke or Bromley are pretty regular so could wait for the next train if the bike quota gets used up.

Still in planning mode.

Any suggestions welcome.

Proposal:

Meet at 8:00am at Bromley South
Up to London and then complete route to Canterbury, stopping en route for lunch (TBA - there is a lovely pub in Tenterden??)
Train back from canterbury to Bromley South (Cheapest method is a group ticket for 4 - around Â£10. I have checked re bikes and have been told they accept 2 per carriage, and that it shouldn't be a problem on a Saturday to take 5) Trains are frequent and take around 1:20minback to Bromley South. may need lights for final part of journey.

Easiest route for me is A23. Norbury, DeVers, Streatham, Brixton.

Is that easier for everyone?

Paul

by **mrP(Boonen)VT** » Fri Apr 13, 2007 2:23 pm

If I leave Croydon at 8:00am, then pick you up in Brixton around 8:30am?
Hows everyone else?
