Anybody for a ride on ~~31st May / 1st June~~? 8th June

Charlotte & I will have our new tandem, and it will need an inaugural run.

Gentle ride from London to somewhere with ice cream?

If I'm back in the country then yes. I'll have to look and see what day we return.

I see you had previously mentioned Windsor in the other thread, as this is only about 7 miles from home I will take a pootle out that way to investigate Ice Cream possibilities. ISTR that they should be good, however I do know that there is a good Fudge shop in Windsor.

Investigations will have to wait until I am back from a long weekend in the Lake District.

Hmmm. So long as it is gentle enough, I think we would be interested. I have a very keen stoker. However, we will need to check diaries

Oooh! Gutted

Mini Q and I will just be coming back from our hols. Bah.

Up for another date though.

Much as we'd love to, I think this is one we can't make. We will still be in Wales on 31st May and possibly 1st June.

annie · « **Reply #6 on:** 15 April, 2008, 08:36:03 pm »

Sorry can't make this. Firstly don't have a tandem and secondly will be returning from Wales and then Mr Annie will be having a day out fishing, I think he will deserve a break by then.

Ooh! Ooh! What a Good Idea.

Thames path perhaps, or a bit of the Grand Onion? Windsor sounds a good plan, too.

clarion · « **Reply #8 on:** 15 April, 2008, 08:46:17 pm »

Apologies

Unable to make that weekend, as I shall be enjoying the company of my son. No doubt he would be wanting to do some tandemming, but I'm not sure he'd be up for such a ride.

I withdraw discreetly, hoping to ride tandem with the new beast soon.

Thing2 · « **Reply #9 on:** 15 April, 2008, 10:16:08 pm »

The Things are busy that weekend too I'm afraid. I'm quite keen to see this new tandem though. We *still* haven't made it up to see JD cycles, or Mercian.

Put me down as a possible.

Wowbagger · « **Reply #11 on:** 15 April, 2008, 10:33:10 pm »

A thought: will you ladies be tandemming it on the WNBR on 7th June?

Charlotte · « **Reply #12 on:** 15 April, 2008, 10:39:32 pm »

Highly likely, I'd have thought. Why do you ask?

Just a thought. I'd like Mrs. Wow to come to the WNBR, but I think it's highly unlikely. A brace of tandems would have been something to see.

Charlotte · « **Reply #14 on:** 15 April, 2008, 10:54:19 pm »

Mrs Wow can wear what she likes on the WNBR can she not?

We can still have a brace of tandems. Nekkidness is optional

Wowbagger · « **Reply #15 on:** 15 April, 2008, 10:57:17 pm »

This is true and I of course will try, but I think it is unlikely that my beloved wife would wish to accompany her nekkid husband down Oxford Street on a tandem. Unless she can borrow a burqa from somewhere...

Would love to see the Santana though.

Do we have to be on tandems?

Charlotte · « **Reply #18 on:** 08 May, 2008, 04:21:55 pm »

No.

But if you're on a solo, we reserve the right to point and laugh

Wowbagger · « **Reply #19 on:** 08 May, 2008, 04:27:26 pm »

I really think this inaugural ride needs to be scheduled for Brighton on 7/6/08.

matthew · « **Reply #20 on:** 10 May, 2008, 05:08:20 pm »

Windsor reccy undertaken, there are two options for ice cream:

1) join all the tourists on the river front, cycle parking available. Normal ice creams + 'Mr Whippies'

2) go ~2 miles south into Windsor Great Park to the village shop, normal ice creams, toilet, CTC welcome label benches beside shop or village green available. Away from the traffic and the hordes.

Once more details are confirmed I will happily either ride to the start and back to Windsor or Join you at a half way point to act as a local guide for the Windsor bit.

Matthew, thanks for the recce. General consensus here is: We don't care, so long as there's ice cream!

I know, why do you think I went.

I got to do a gentle 20kms with two ice cream breaks

Julian · « **Reply #23 on:** 12 May, 2008, 04:38:44 pm »

It looks like this is being rescheduled for Sunday 8 June 2008.

Hope people can still make it!

8th June is now in our diary.
