A Hard Day in January

I like to think of it as 'steady' rather than 'slow'. But, yes, I will be going slowly. Company would be great!

Humm, given your performance on the last Box Hill ride, I would classify you as being on the "animated" side of "Steady."

Will be driving to the start, with one spare place in the wagon, from the Brixton area.

First dibs, first served.

^I'll dibs the Brixton pick up (but happy to give it up if someone else will have difficulty getting to the start).

Its 4 or 3 for the price of 2. Note you all have to begin and end together.

This route looks as straight as an arrow, but how is it on a bicycle after Kew?

The Hard Day in January Reliability Trial 2013.
Saturday 19th January

For 2013 the event routes will start from the Hounslow clubroom at Staines Sailing Club, the main ride will go to the Big H Café at Berinsfield (85 miles) and the cadet version will be to Marlow (45 miles).

i don't want to sound stupid here but i take it the ride is a loop and we will be coming back to staines?

^^^Dan are you riding out to Staines? fucking crazy yank.

Tom, there will be space in abundance.

am catching train out too. fuck riding through suburbia

This route looks as straight as an arrow, but how is it on a bicycle after Kew?

Easy on a bike after Kew. A bit fiddly though Hounslow and then a long straight drag to Staines (assuming you don't mind cycling on dual carriageway for the last bit). I think you might want to check your end point in Staines as I don't think the Club house is where your route ends.
