Any from here doing this?

Only just got a place for it during the week, but went on a 35 miler today without too much of a problem.

I was also thinking about leaving on of the cars down their on Saturday then driving it back Sunday.

fking genious, that sounds like a plan to me.

ETA: although that leaves the problem of getting to Clapham damn early on a Sunday.

I last did this about 10 years ago and it's a great event. My best time was 4 hrs and we were lucky in having a coach to bring us back home again. Good luck to anyone who is doing it.

Goldsworth Park, We're supposed to leave Clapham at 6am!

Wonder if we could get a taxi to take us

Dopeee is off all week, sure he would offer

But the bike would be bigger than his new car? Where would it go?

Bitter experiance tells me that a taxi from waterloo to Goldsworth Park costs £120. I doubt a taxi to Clapham will be much cheaper.

was that black or minicab?
Might not be that expensive early on a sunday when it wouldn't take very long. I'll ring a few places.

It was a black cab. Clapham is about a 30 mile trip, I only know because I sometimes take the bike in to town. It taskes around 40 minutes on a good run.
