So, Ah, if you are indeed to be riding from Colchester to London next Sunday, what kind of time would you be leaving Colchester? Just a rough guide. And any idea of the route? Can't find it on the thread.
Hi Jane,
Wrote a long response and changing tabs on the iPad went a bit wrong and the long post got lost!
Shortened version is:
Leaving the Colchester Personnel Recovery Centre around 9am (I will have been on German time and want to get to London ASAP!)
Following this route:
http://www.bikehike.co.uk/mapview.php?lnk=http://www.hancox.org.uk/h4h.gpxI think there will be 5-6 people leaving with me from Colchester (my James, friend Mark, fboab, boablet, ?Ham, someone else who I can't remember at present) and I may be waved off from Colchester by TimC too. Being a Sunday it's possible the PRC will be closed so I won't be able to have a pic taken there but the car park outside it (the Corporal Budd VC Gymnasium) is a good a place as any to meet up and is outside the MoD wire so ordinary chaps like us can go there.
My James will ride with us to Maldon and then return home - he will be needed later to collect me and Mark in the car due to lack of trains!
Sorry for the early start, chaps, but I've been leaving my hotels at 8:15am most mornings which is 7:15 UK time so for me to get to the PRC (half an hour from home) for 9 is a real lie-in!
Wowbagger may well be meeting us en-route.
