Deal With It

Overnighter to Deal on the South East coast

Idea is to stick together as much as possible and the leaders will wait at non-obvious forks in the road and corners

Ride is 3 weeks before Dunwich

If you want to test your set-up and legs on a slightly cruisier and shorter ride then this could be for you

166km with large traffic-free sections
One 5km gravel + 1km grass sections
23 tires OK
Bring beer, spirits and food

Fast-social pace, nobody left behind
Bike, body and brain could be tested : No crybabies, No crap equipment
Be self-sufficient and bring adequate clothing

Plenty of bail-out points enroute, (BUT) you may have a long wait at a train station
Most trains down there resume at 07:30 on Sunday morning (there are plenty of train stations enroute)

LONDON - Woolwich - Gravesend - Rochester - Rainham - Faversham - Whitstable - Herne Bay - Margate - Ramsgate - Sandwich -DEAL

Meet London Fields - top Broadway and Westgate
More info soon..
Start time 20:00 (meet 19:00)

I will be going fixed on about 71GI (46x17:23c)

If you want to ride gears, three simple rules:

1. Geared riders to the back of field (I want to enjoy the silence of
   the night without your freehub ruining it)
   
2. On descents give clear warning (on right, stay etc.). Always pass on
   far right
   
3. Don't sprint off at the bottom of a descent. Slow down and let the group come back together
