Unfortunately I can't make it; off to the Lakes with 'er indoors. I'll be sneaking a bike in...

Digs booked at the Spoons...
Looks like a leisurely ~160km from SE London

Does Mr Laid Back or other Kingston-types have a suggested 200km perm to ride out via? Otherwise, Emma was considering using the first ~150km of the KWCC 600km route (maybe as a route-check?) as a starting point.

I'm hoping to get along

Will bring this up at our Feb ACB meeting and try and drum up some interest to join you again... We may look at using the same out and back 200s we rode at the 2015 meet up :

I ended up on the train while HK finished a 200 DIY to the 2016 meet. I think we're up for riding to the Salisbury weekend, if the weather isn't apocalyptic. We've got a room booked at any rate.

Yes, happily we do, and you are welcome to join us from Kingston Bridge at 7am. Veloboy welcome too...and anyone else interested?

Route here: https://www.strava.com/activities/872589663 but beware the comedy off-road bit after Henley, easily avoided, we're not planning to make that mistake again!

Register as DIY with Paul Stewart, ref DIYSE 7122

You can count me in too. Will be riding over from Reading (probably)

Great thanks for that Rich, we'd love to join you.

Just bought some virtual brevet cards. Quick question are you doing a mandatory route DIY, or what are your nominated controls? Thanks!

Laid Back Rich · « **Reply #34 on:** 31 January, 2018, 05:34:20 pm »

The route controls are:
Kingston
Henley on Thames
Bramley,Hampshire
Whitchurch,Hampshire
Marten,Wiltshire
Amesbury
Guildhall Square, Salisbury.

Plan to join you for a pint. A 25k round trip beckons

LittleWheelsandBig · « **Reply #36 on:** 06 February, 2018, 02:19:42 pm »

I'm out. I found out today that work is sending me overseas for 2-3 weeks on Thursday. HK is still going though.

postie · « **Reply #37 on:** 13 February, 2018, 08:12:46 pm »

Its nearly time, see you all on Saturday should be in spoons by 7pm lastest.
200km out to Somerset planned (got a pub to vist)

Laid Back Rich · « **Reply #38 on:** 16 February, 2018, 03:26:16 pm »

The time is almost upon us, I can barely contain my excitement.

Can I make an early appeal to stay in the pub for dinner (rather than go to that Indian) then at 9 or thereabouts when the DJ cranks up the volume and the young ones start going on heat, we retire gracefully to the Haunch of Venison to drink malt whisky and talk about spokes.

postie · « **Reply #39 on:** 16 February, 2018, 06:00:30 pm »

Rich, with a big turn out expected i had already advised some of the very same plan.
See about 7ish.

I'd recommend the Wyndham Arms - the birthplace of Hopback beers https://www.hopback.co.uk/our-pubs/the-wyndham-arms/

we may squeeze in a visit to both if we're feeling sprightly

Outstanding weekend. Cheers Postie and Wheelman Kev for your company. Managed to alternate cycling with drinking excellent beer in pub from the far past, then more cycling then. beer accompanied by a mummified hand. Did I dream that last bit?

Yes -a great trip. Always good to be in the rareified presence of Audaxing Royalty -they know who they are. Thanks again to Rich for organising and Sarah, Chris and Tandem Things for having me along on the rides.

postie · « **Reply #44 on:** 19 February, 2018, 04:00:17 pm »

Great weekend, 212miles done, great weather and a great night in Salisbury with many friends.

Laid Back Rich · « **Reply #45 on:** 19 February, 2018, 04:41:56 pm »

fabulous as usual, the event is approaching legendary status now

Pete Mas · « **Reply #46 on:** 21 February, 2018, 01:06:57 pm »

Even better than last year! If you were tempted by this but didn't make it along, then make a mental note not to miss it next year. wonderful to see El Supremo.
Chilly 200k ride to get there - but beer back on when I arrived.
