The Dulwich Paragon lot all decamp to the St Germain cafe at the top of CP hill and leave bikes outside the cafe in a very cavalier fashion (given the area) and I'm told there aren't any problems with that. Don't know if they sell beer though, which would seem to be important for any SC ride...0 -

I am still on for this, weather permitting. Crisp and cold would be good, rain not so good!
May be rubbish on any hills though, having recently discovered just how much difference fewer gears on the winter bike's double makes over vs the compact I am used to.0 -

No I'm out (did say in a post waaay back under the rest) as my little sister is around with kiddy, on that day.
though to be honest I've pulled my back so i'm on pottering only at mo.0 -
I'm actually planning to come along, though it's entirely dependent on me getting up in the morning early enough to drive to London, which may well not happen at all.0

If the weather perks up, I may be available Sunday (and my +1) for yokel riding with you. As long as you wait for me......Emerging from under a big black cloud. All help welcome0 -

I'd happy lend you my hybrid to slow you down a smidge. It does have mudguards though. And a pannier rack for sarnies / a flask of tea if you have to wait a VERY long time for me.0
