Oh.  I haven't listened to it yet.  Oh dear. 

Anyway, it's not been the same since Alan Coran left us.  If I had a time machine I'd schedule a show with Alan Coran and Susan Calman on the same team.

I think I'm not alone in thinking that the number of potholes on this route - and on roads in the south-east in general - that have been allowed to appear is
A) large, and
B) an absolute bluddy scandal.

not especially, this route along with many others (including mine even in summer) has always suffered from them. Good lights and careful / slow as required riding in a group will be fine

You may find allies in the lunchtime runners. They also appreciate a shower and somewhere to store kit and let stuff dry.
Less so bike storage, but shared office buildings for 100s of people often have something already. They can please several people for relatively little space in a corner that can't realistically fit a car or desk.

Brilliant!

That makes 3 Super Randonnee's in the UK, one more and we could have a hyper-super-randonnee for doing 4 in a season.

A Scottish one would complete the set. It must be possible.

In that case, I have never worked at, interviewed at (or maybe even seen) a workplace with suitable work bike storage. The current office park certainly doesn't meet your criteria.

Very very very few companies have proper bike facilities IMHO. Surprisingly the Netherlands is very bad at this.

Ah yes, the *other* reason for owning a Brompton...

Give every employee an ebike!

I suspect that might be something that the current cycling employees might pursue. You can get eBikes on the cycle to work scheme. I'd like us to have an office ebike that can be borrowed for testing how you could use it, but again, that's probably beyond what is possible.

Dutch government has a scheme where you can lease an e-bike for €7 per month...

I like to get to events by train, but sometimes the car is the only workable way.
