The second year of this ride and a great way to do this famous audax ride,leaving Poole quay at 8pm and arriving back for breakfast on Sunday morning.

Details
Date=saturday 1st of August 2015
Time=8pm

I think last year there were about 10 of us.

Definitely up for this again

I have been told there has been a cancellation of mutual domestic plans on account of Mrs H going on a hen-do.

Therefore, I am in

Come along velo boy, the finish is a pub

I'm a hopeful for this one. Just depends on which day we leave for our week away. Will have to drop it into conversation very carefully. Perhaps 'traffic will be better on a Monday rather than the weekend' something like that!

Would like to do the DC perm sometime this summer, but that date unfortunately
collides with Straight Outta Hackney.

sadly can't make this as I will be by the banks of the Dordogne attemping to eat more cheese and drink more red wine than is thought humanly possible.

As Lars says, a shame (for me anyway) that the date clashes with Straight Outta Hackney and with the Prudential Ride London event.

It's the Harting Trail run the next day so I'm out....

A gain who are you??

Hummers · « **Reply #14 on:** 10 June, 2015, 07:53:52 am »

Harting Trail? Is that a cycling event?

Count me in. I'll go for the 6pm Dorchester Lloyds ATM start again, which gives time for a curry and pint at Poole Quay Weatherspoons, espcially if one texts an order to Hummers.
And I'll try to arrange a secret control at the top of Abbotsbury Hill, and maybe even breakfast chez moi.
Memories of drinking red wine in Axminster Churchyard at 3am, with a chorus of herring gulls to keep us awake - its what Audax UK is all about....

Wish you were a bit closer, I would love to join you. Especially as my own night ride looks like being cancelled due to lack of interest.

So.... what would people like to eat at the top of Abbotsbury Hill this year? Chief Cook and Bottle Washer.

Hummers · « **Reply #21 on:** 20 June, 2015, 05:58:56 pm »

Last time I think it was tea and cake

postie · « **Reply #22 on:** 22 June, 2015, 03:45:27 pm »

And rice pud.

Hummers · « **Reply #23 on:** 22 June, 2015, 08:32:02 pm »

This year I think it would be nice to have some sort of amuse bouche. Perhaps pan seared scallops with crab jus or a bergamot infused liver with baby onions.

Or perhaps just tea and CAKE.

There's a rumour that jacket spuds may be on offer, but after climbing that damned hill anything's welcome....
