    I'll be passing very close to Paddington. Can meet up first if you want.

    Might be tempted, especially if I'm trying to follow LiT's directions :lol: Looked at LiT's directions and apart from Broadway Shopping Centre it seems pretty straight forward. Still got time to look at the route.
    The plan is for a High Noon showdown at the cafe by Roehampton gate?

    Broadway Shopping Centre? Where's that?

    Trouble is, in London, if you want to stay off the big roads the navigation gets a lot more difficult.

    Getting to richmond will be easy. Getting back after a couple of pints......... not so much.

    Can't be no worse than Bristol at times, just I know the shortcuts to use in Bristol

    Oooooh right! It's also the location of the Hammersmith tube - guess which one I tend to refer to it as?

    And London no worse than Brizzle? Maybe so, but I reckon it's a shade bigger....

    It is quite evil and multi laned but tis not too bad. I would/could be somewhere close by to either ignore it or meet up prior to RP.

    Has a where whe and what time been decided yet?

    If so, where, when and at what time?

    If in Richmond Park and if laps are being ridden I may be able to make it.

    A true scalp is not only overtaking someone but leaving them stopped at a set of lights. As you, who have clearly beaten the lights, pummels nothing but the open air ahead. ~ 'DondaddyD'. Player of the Unspoken Game

    That's Hammersmith Roulette Wheel; four lanes to be chosen, seemingly at random and buses exiting / entering the bus station in the middle.

    It's actually quite easy.

    I'm up for a 12:30 meet at the cafe by Roehampton Gate due to the train getting in at 11:40ish. Can I add that if you're going to wear a cycling top then it has to be a retro design.

    Now that the details are all sorted, can somebody put them into a stickied thread, which can be taken down after the event?

    Is 'The Coffee Shop' the one at Roehampton Gate or the one at Pembroke Lodge?

    Or another I haven't thought of yet? :D

    never been to any coffee shop in RP - only ever really cycled past 1 object that had people outside and that was returning to roehampton gate from doing some anti-clockwise laps on the right.

    I'm sure there's a good chance we'll be at the Roebuck earlier, but I wouldn't like people who don't want to do laps to be at the pub by themselves.

    To keep my record intact, I will not be doing any laps so I'll bring a book to keep me occupied til yous lot return from your laps 8)

    If the temp is less than 25 degrees, I'll bring a thick jumper just in case LiT wants us to inhale the good Richmond air for an hour or so (and the rest) :wink:

    You can have the honour of sweaty seconds. I'll be getting my sweaty palms on, the small but perfectly formed, CW first :lol: In fact CW can get the drinks in, we can text her the order and she'll have them ready for us as we arrive at the pub in a pool ofsweat.

    After doing the Ladies L2B a couple of laps of RP will be easy.
