If you are coming up through Kingswood, I can meet you there (3:45pm) but will be on my work bike - by the station.

Hi Paul,

Yeah the more the merrier for sure. Will keep an eye out for you by the station. Bear with us if we are a little late thought fifteen minutes from coulsdon to Kingswood should be fine.

What way will you go from Star Bucks to Kingswood. Back to start of Chipstead Valley Road or up an over via Star Lane,How Lane?

Its just that I may tag along too..leaving from Purley. Just got to think of an excuse..."I need to pop out and get some milk" or along those lines!

[quote="Ramanujan"]I worked at CERN briefly in the late 80's ( I'm a mathematician).
Actually creating mico-singularities (black holes) is one of the aims of the project since if you can stop them vanishing almost immediately by holding them in a gravitational field, all sorts of interesting things are possible, like time travel.


Sounds great. Then I might beat my 1960s lifetime PB in the President's 10! 8)

Hi guys, sorry if you were late or didn't find each other or didn't come..
I waited until 3.40 then left up towards Chipstead valley, Walton on hill, Headley Tot hill down and up then
BOX HILL managed to time my climb from the bus stop sign at the bottom in front of the restaurant beside the round about
to the Box hill sign in front of the Shop I've done it in 11' 25" on a 8/10 mph steady pace...it's getting better!
Then back towards Kingswood and down Chipsted valley road to Coulson and A23 to Starbucks.
33 miles done today.
Hope to have this mid week trip going every week and, hopefully with more "participation"
Cheers, Fabo :)

Sorry I missed you - waited until 4:00pm and was starting to get chilly so headed off.
No worries, had a good ride.
See you around.

Hi, Paul, I didn't know you were going to come as I didn't see Kasper at Starbucks.
I'd like to do a mid week run next week too, so hopefully we'll be better organised.
We might try to pass the word to everybody on Sat 13's CR.
Cheers, Fabo

Cheers.

4:00pm at Kingswood station is good for me.

Trust me, I know a good route - (and for Huw's benefit - no it doesn't include Brighton :roll: )

Ok, I'll try to find the station.
Last wed I went up Chipstead valley straight, but I realised that on the way back I came out from
Kingswood golf club into Chipstead valley road after crossing the A217.
It should be fine for me to get there by 4.00 pm. starting at 3,30 from Starbucks.
Tomorrow I'll be at the CR, see you there if you'll do it as well, otherwise see you on wed afternoon!
Cheers, Fabo

The station is past the golf club on that road - by a pub called the Kingswood Arms.
