I'm looking after boys as Lydia is at work.

Shame. Also not your neck of the woods like, so appreciate the schelp to get over to CP is not wonderfully appealing.

I have it on good authority that a special guest will be in attendance to wave us off.

Eddy Merckx ?

Similar build

ooof @Demeaux

I'm more "sprinter" build than "tour winner" build atm.

I was referring to his current build :-)

Woah.
Shots fired.

You’re too short to be a Tour winner.

Count me in...

Fucking hell.
Kick a person when they're down.

These threads are pubic

The next kid from Kilburn may stumble on the thread whilst looking for cycling clubs. Please think of the kids from Kilburn!

In other news....this is awesome. Looking forward to it now Anton.

We can chat about Paris -Roubaix and which side of the bed we prefer

Nice. Shall we close the thread so no-one else can join?

Yeah thats a cracking plan - we always get way too many people turning up so we need to start being selective

True!

Whilst I want Anton all to myself, I suppose I should big up this ride.

Weather bagel says "Niiiice"

The route consists of the whiz down Anerley, Layhams to warm you up for Beddlestead, a nice way to shake out those Sunday legs. A blast along The Ridge and then dropping down onto Woldingham Girls School's private road which seems to push your bike for you. This is followed by the picturesque Bug Hill, then a Dov-disapproved little bit of urbanization, some lanes, and pop, back onto Skid Mark lane for the race to CP.

Back in plenty of time for coffee and cake before getting home early to surprise your better half and their lover.

Plus, we have the ultimate Chav and a different offspring waving us off...

Is that how he'll be dressed?

No fucking chance.
