September Group Ride

He's concentrating on his running at the moment, so not biking much but I might have to change that.

Experienced Audax rider required.

Are the routes way marked?  If not II've been sent a list of instructions here that would be challenging to me if I was walking, let alone on a bike.  No map.  I'll never make it past 10 miles.

I tried that last night.  It was a bit tricky because a lot of the directions are 'follow signpost to x village', which doesn't really help when you're not on the ground!  It would be fine if you knew the area.  But I don't.

You'll send out a search party if I don't return, won't you?

It's on Sunday, and I haven't the time between now and then!  I have time on Monday but that's a bit late.

I entered cos it's organised and I kind of thought they'd send a map, but it's a massive set of directions with 'follow SP to Sarratt, 200yds, R at TJ, under bridge then right at canal' etc. 

I understand the directions, just can't see how I can possibly read them while cycling!

There will be groups of people so just tag yourself on to one of the ones that looks like they might be going at your pace, (the ones with tight, brightly coloured  lycra with names all over it are normally a good choice for someone of your talents)

Mind the people with wooly hats and enough bags draped round the bike to keep them going for a few days, they will probably be out there that long.

don't be so wet, i told you i was coming, which i am, and i have a directions holding thingy.

also a radar for finding old men who know what they're doing. in respect of audax rides.

no, really. he wilted daintily halfway up a hill and then buggered off with the car keys.
