Ride Tomorrow?

Any of you lovely people in SE London fancy a quick spin tomorrow? Something up to the 60ish miles level although less is fine. I only know one route and have a [email protected] sense of direction and just want to ride without having to stop to look at maps. I average 18-19mph usually on a country "club" ride and stop occasionally to take a sip of water, eat a banana etc at the top of hills. So if anyone else is out around Kent and has a sense of direction, knows routes or simply has a Garmin, let me know!

However, I might struggle to get to Elmer's End r/a by 8.30am. :shock:

Would feel like getting up for work, or something.

Is the roundabout at the end of Elmers End Road/Croydon Road?

Do we all agree on 9? Trying to get a Garmin route sorted, hopefully I'll get it right!
I'll be on the 'dale with a yellow Campag jersey on, if the weather's OK.

Works out about 51 miles.
See you in a bit.

I need to get out much more. All of my Marmotte form has disappeared.
Good to meet everyone, though. Hope everyone else managed to get back without further incident. Will definitely be up for a repeat SE London massive trip out again at some juncture. In the meantime, it's straight back on the turbo for me. Once these aching legs have recovered, that is.

I was rather slow after I left you - even the downhill sections were agony, but got home OK. Even managed to walk again after a few hours
Ben, what happened later?
Here's the track of the route from mine - let me know if you can access it:

And to anyone not impressed with the speed - it's my fault!
No puncture after I left you - the puncture I was on about was the one I got just after I'd left, which is why I was a bit late.
Legs are now fully recovered, which is nice. Clearly not all my fitness has disappeared. As I'm on holiday this week, I'll be heading out that way again a couple of times to see if I can claw back some speed.

Very good! Yeah I think K and I floated around the 25mph+ level for a while on the burn back into London, but there were a few hills. Generally it was a hilly old route after you left us, we just seemed to go up and up!
