 |
|
Was sent details of this ride from LCC.
Their description is
| Quote: |
Meet at Teddington station at 10.30 for a ride on quiet roads and
rural tracks to Box Hill, Southern England's nearest approach to an
alpine road. Lunch at a pub on the top. The return is mostly downhill
if only by comparison. Burn off those seasonal calories
|
Details a little sketchy but looks like a great ride, so anyone else making this a big attendance for LSCT 
**EDIT** Actually just noticed this is on same day as the Ashbourne Indoor Race, so bear that in mind. I will prob still do ride though |

| LCC rides by reputation are not fast - even by CTC standards |

Are they more inclusive to non-club members, i.e. if we just turn up, are they likely to be just like the YACF lot, or more like the TCC?
I might be up for something (possibly open to Saturday), won't know till closer to the time.
I assume that a ride of this distance (35 miles), if done early, will leave ample time to do something in the early afternoon? |

Saturday would actually work better for me than Sunday, especially if we can be back in town for 2-3pm
I've never done an LCC ride myself so can't tell you first-hand how they react to non-members, but I'd be surprised if it was anything like Andy's experience with Twickenham. |

TCC are a perfectly nice bunch if you can keep up with them  |
