    3rd, 10th & 17th all OK for me- 10th seems like the favoured option so far.

    This one's a goody near Regent's Park.

    Might be able to do the 10th, although I expect I'll still be barely able to walk after the Marmotte.

    :cry: The 10th is our wedding anniversary. I don't even want to contemplate the reaction if I mention doing this (and probably coming back pi$$ed in the evening) :shock:

    I know nowhere near Regent's Park is going to be anywhere near as nice as the Roebuck, but is there anywhere more similar?

    I think parking for 30+ bikes may be an issue... I really don't know the area.

    10 or 17 work for me. I'd prefer Richmond cos the Park is so much better, and The Roebuck is deal for such a gathering...

    Hmm, I might have to take a rain check on this one - July really is out of the question for me as the latest addition to the BJUK tribe is due mid-month so venturing out to the other side of town when the fair Mrs. BJUK is either a) heavily preggo or b) with young child isn't going to fly!

    Damn shame as I'd love to have tried out Regents Park!

    I might just put a fly in the ointment for Regents Park. July will be well into theatre season, and my club has been warned by the park police that large groups of cyclists using the Inner Circle for training purposes won't be tolerated. Now I know we won't be training but it could be construed that way, and hassle with plod could ruin the day.

    My vote goes to Richmond Park

    okay looks like it's richmond park, though any late votes could swing it, ( only 3 at time of posting ) what about bringing some knobbly tires to the meet, okay the park is far from technical but be fun having a look at the different bikes.

    Well, much as I'd like to attend my 6-monthly meet up with all you lovely people....I've got a work bash in San Francisco starting on Sunday 11th, and heading out there on 10th for a spot of corporate-sponsored tourism is winning at the moment ;-)

    Well it sounds like Richmond might be a better bet, much as I would like to see a giraffe and some free theatre!

    So, Roebuck, 10th of July?
