Comment by Alex Green on February 15, 2017 at 14:01: Hi all, I'm out at 08.42 along with a couple of non-windrush mates so will probably roll down there with them. I expect we may meet at Cadence so perhaps see some of you there early doors, otherwise at the start or on the road - will look out for you.

Comment by Russell Speechley on February 15, 2017 at 13:02: Totally missed the comment from Becky....I am not starting until 9.30, so thought 7.45 start should be fine. But clearly if others leaving before then, that won't work.

Comment by Russell Speechley on February 15, 2017 at 13:00: Weather is looking fine for weekend....no ice!

For those cycling there, shall we meet at Cadence for 7.45?

Does that work for everyone to get to their start times?

Comment by Rebecca Goodwin on February 15, 2017 at 10:41: I think a 7am prompt departure from cadence should be more than enough time!

Comment by Tom Taylor on February 15, 2017 at 10:38: Have people decided what time to meet at cadence yet? keep me in the loop!

Comment by Charles Barclay on February 15, 2017 at 10:22: I'm planning to drive to the start and can take three others plus bikes. We will need to load up at the lido car park 7:15am in order to get to Charles Darwin School for 8:30am. Start at 8:56am. Let me know if you want a lift.

Comment by Ross Bishop on February 14, 2017 at 9:08: I will join you on the cycle there (again subject to weather)

Comment by Russell Speechley on February 14, 2017 at 8:40: I would cycle there too, subject to good weather.

Probably need to allow 1.5hrs to get there and register?

Comment by Rob Weinert-Aplin on February 12, 2017 at 22:01: I'm keen to cycle there (especially if the weather is decent)

Comment by Rebecca Goodwin on February 12, 2017 at 19:49: I will led a ride to the start for those who want to join, meet at Cadence, time = tbc

Won't take too long and be a nice warm up prior (most likely train it back though!)
