Might even be able to make it!

Mrs GB is out that evening but if her friend calls off (quite likely) then I'll be there...

Yes its handy for Wimbledon trains and tubes.

Richard Evans and myself will be wearing AUK caps (or a Bob Marley wig   :)) to aid identification.

I will try and make it if possible. There may be some other Willesdeners turning up too, but hopefully with none of us in bilious lime green.
Events I am running: 5th September 2021, the unseasonal Wellesden Reliability; HOPEFULLY Early April 2022, 3 Down London - New Forest 300K Audax;

The more the merrier!
Potentially at least 3 Mille Miglia finishers could be in attendance.

Plenty of sturdy rails for bike parking outside, so I'm told.
Just bring sturdy bike locks....

Thanks to Pete and Richard for organising this. Apologies for my somewhat abrupt departure -  I'd just realised I had seven minutes before my train left.

It was a good turnout for midweek, and great to meet some new folks , as well as chat with some familiar faces.

Richard suggested a repeat evening sometime before the spring rides start in earnest.

Yes, thanks again for organising.  Particular thanks to Salvatore for sharing his extensive experience.  Before the evening I was getting cold feet re PBP as it seemed to be turning into a major logistical / planning exercise, but I can see there is another way!

how about next Wed then, 25th May, say from around 8.30pm?

same place: Wibbas Down Inn, 6-12 Gladstone Road Wimbledon SW19 1QT .

http://www.jdwetherspoon.co.uk/home/pubs/the-wibbas-down-inn

as you can see from the pub website photo there is plenty of good secure bike parking outside.  And there are usually plenty of real ales on tap at good prices... so all we need really for a serious training session  :)
