This still happening? I am keen! Been out on the xc bike today and it's riding like a dream. My fitness isn't where it was last year but I should be ok.

Where are you starting from?

I am keen but if thats the meeting point for the start i am around 50/50! its a good 1.45 hours from my house and to get there for 7 would be painful!

Have i met you on an EHC ride noel? trying to put a face to the name!

We all catching trains there mate. Its a bit closer for me and Rod. Its an early start but its just to allow us some spare time should we get a mechanical or some other issue on route.

Mate, I think we have done one ride, but not 100% I ride a Stumpy normally but sometimes rode my White Beone and recently ride my white Marin.

Probably the only South African on the forum, haha :oops:

You can take them on as far as leyton - but its easy to stay on till stratford - then walk across the platform and get on an overground as far as liv st

Have done it 10's of times when doing a N downs mission

Or drive to chingford (2 mins from high beech) and get the overground to Liv St

Replied, will forward GPX asap.

Agree with Jon, its easy to stay on till Stratford, and that early in the morning I have stayed on till Holborn. They just ask me not to do it again. But I keep forgetting that I am supposed to get off..... :roll:
