I'm doing a DIY 200 on Sunday 27th April, if anyone wants to join me the route will be MK, Olney, Huntingdon, Ely, Gamlingay, MK.
It's been OK'd by Andy U' as I did it in December.
It will not be a fast ride, last time it took me 11.5hrs.

Riders so far:

Me + Annie

Hi Rich. What departure time are you looking at?

I might be up for coming along for a few miles, but I'd have to zoom off before Huntingdon though.

RichForrest · « **Reply #4 on:** 12 April, 2008, 10:32:53 am »

8.00 from Fenny Stratford.

Rich.

Just the two of us then Rich. I know which song you mean now. If I find myself singing that through the night I will be texting you at 4 in the morning.

Not the bandstand in Bletchley then?

If the weather's alright, I'll come along if that's OK.

*Waves back*

I have just ridden my bike up the road, only 2 miles but 2 miles more than I thought would be possible. It felt ok, wanted to carry on riding but it didn't feel right in my rolled up linen trousers.

I misread "rolled up" as "soiled up".

Should've been oiled up really.

Clean your glasses man.

Why would my trousers be soiled or even oiled? Oiled up linen trousers really doesn't sound terribly attractive does it?

I hadn't got as far as "linen trousers" when I got to "rolled" had I?

There had been no evidence up to that point that you had been wearing any clothes at all.

Will be stopping at the Grafham Water cafe (50k) for coffee at about 11.00ish
Last time I did it I used the A1123 as far as Haddenham, then through Witchford to the Little chef at Ely.

slowfen · « **Reply #16 on:** 12 April, 2008, 05:08:23 pm »

which cafe, the one by the cycle place, or the one by the sailing club??

Maladict · « **Reply #17 on:** 12 April, 2008, 05:09:29 pm »

Hmmm... Ely... Gamlingay.

I could actually 300ify it quite easily. Even better.

Hmm. *scratches chin*

The first one you come to by the big carpark, I think the sailing club is further along, I went there on one of Jackies Poplands 100k rides the other year.

The Anglian water shop/cafe??

RichForrest · « **Reply #21 on:** 12 April, 2008, 06:07:02 pm »

It would be easier to do this

(Cafe here)

Rich.

slowfen · « **Reply #22 on:** 12 April, 2008, 08:07:36 pm »

Yep is easier, but haven't worked that out yet.
