Finally got round to testing a few routes out and putting a 60 miler together from different parts of them.
Aim to meet between 10 and 10.30am on March 10th at Clapham South Tube (on the grass, and set off towards Mordor (as shown on le map)....
The plan will be roughly as follows :-
10.30 - Start
11.45ish - Stop #1 will be at the The Cock Inn, just south of the M25

for a beer/lemonade/chips etc. and set off by 12.45 swinging West over Mill lane and one of the best, wide downhill straights I've found so far.
On through Leatherhead town centre and Cobham (with a quick stop for water and snacks if necessary).
Then upping the pace a little to aim for The Four Horseshoes in Chobham for lunch for around 2pm.
There are plenty of benches out front and a small green next to the pub to sit on with drinks and food, and (hopefully) get a glimpse of sun!
Aim to head off from there at 3.15 which should get us to Richmond Hill for a final beer or 2 at The Roebuck and a lovely view over the Thames to the West.
Any upright bikes welcome - fixeh, SS, geared... whatever floats your boat - just make sure your tyres are road worthy, fully pumped up before departing, and that everyone has at least 1 *i*nnertube on them.
Most likely ending the ride with the sun starting to set so bring good lights, waterproof/windproof top just in case... etc. etc.
Hope to see you on the 10th!
