Well then if it's Sunday it looks like it could be
elder81 Emjay + other(s) Kenno DaveG (maybe)
Any more takers? If we aim for 8am start, should be back by 12 noon (depending on water/loo/tea/coffee/beer breaks)

Weather looks like it is going to be good. I'll be there. Car park on Hollyhedge Road to leave at 8am. I don't have any electric-trickery to help with the route, though. By the way the speedhumps are back on Boxhill - full road width

Lovely day. Sunny with a gentle breeze and not too much traffic.
Looking forward to the next one.

Same route as last week.
Barnacle, it was more of a tandem than a peloton! Just me and DaveG this occasion. Unfortunately kenno was served with a last minute injunction against ever wearing lycra shorts.

I made the route slightly shorter by heading straight from Leatherhead down to the foot of Boxhill via the A24 which turned out to be OK to cycle along (except when I ignored Emjay's advice to take to the footpath near the end and shook all my fillings loose cycling over the painted chevrons at the side of the road) Apart from that the ride was more traffic free than last Sunday and far fewer cyclists around too. It was 46 miles and we averaged a pretty good 15.0 mph even though Emjay left me for dead on a few of the hills, it's quite a fast run down from Newlands corner to the end. I think I've now got my bike computer and GPS to pretty much agree, although hills should always mean that the computer should read slightly more.
So, who's up for the next one?

You guys must be pretty fit. I did 18 miles yesterday round hilly Medway and only managed an average speed of 12.5mph!

Anita has done this route http://gb.mapometer.com/cycling/route_2252513.html three times in three weeks after not cycling for a year and has increased her average speed from 15kph to 17kph today... she's getting there.

So, who's up for the next one? I'd love to do it again, but I don't think I will be able to come next week. The following week I could do the Saturday (8th).

Just like a bag of frozen brussel sprouts!
Hope you managed to get some shut-eye Ken.

If anyone is planning on doing this, just to say that I definitely can't do the Sunday but Saturday should be fine.
Both days look like the weather is going to be fine.

Come on then you guys, you can't *all* be waiting for Tribans surely? I was away last weekend and Saturday 8th is no good for me (flying back overnight) but maybe Sunday 9th or following Saturday 15th?

I'm not sure if I can do this Sunday, but is anyone else planning on going?
Or how about an abridged version for Saturday [or I join for part as I will need to be back for 10.30]
