    It'll be early for me on Saturday as well.

    Probably leave my gaff at 9-10am, when Saturday Kitchen is on.

    Could meet me on my road (by my gaff) on in Wimbledon and we can head up there?

    Also, Bassjunkie, you available on Saturday for this?
    Food Chain number = 4

    I was thinking 8 or so - before the traffic... but then I've got a busy day on Sat so need to be done and dusted before 11.

    Anyone keen?

    Tweed run for me, dressed like a tool pootling... should be great and will probably end up being around 45 -50 miles too

    Wow this thread has some dust on it, well we're almost at the end of the year so what better time to plan next years social rides. Same format as before, you plan a route in and around your local area, pop the details on here and those that want come along and join in.

    I'm up for a social ride - just discovered some people from the Road Forum have rides from Richmond Park on the weekends every now and then so going to try and get along to one of those.

    Yes I do didn't he emigrate or something, GregT pops in now and then when the guards aren't looking and Greg66 sadly is unable to go online anymore, age is so so cruel.

    LiT emigrated and got married FFS
    LIV married with two babies but being suitably punished for her crimes against SCR
    DDD eaten by a mouse
    EKE 5 to 10 stretch I think
