Comment by Rebecca Goodwin on February 17, 2017 at 11:25: Unfortunately my sister popped out her baby early so now have aunty duties to attend to so will miss this :(

So all windrushers who want to join and start together at 845ish (to do the course together - no cyclist dropped!) meet at cadence 7am - Nick will lead the ride to the start.

Comment by Russell Speechley on February 16, 2017 at 9:59: I could go earlier, but have timed my start to meet a few old friends/colleagues.

Anyone want to cycle down to arrive by 9ish? I will be leaving Peckham area, so can meet wherever.

No ice - thank the cycling gods!

Comment by Andrew Bowmer on February 15, 2017 at 18:41: I'm getting a lift with a work colleague who has a spare place for rider + bike, if anyone is interested. We're due for a 9.30 start, precise departure arrangements tba.

Comment by Jake Pollard on February 15, 2017 at 18:17: I'm going to ride down as well, but if you have are any spaces for the return Charles yes please :)

Comment by Ross Bishop on February 15, 2017 at 17:09: I will meet you at cadence, is the consensus 7am? I think I'm starting at 9.30 but would prefer to start earlier,

Comment by Colin Williams on February 15, 2017 at 16:46: I'm down for a 9.30ish start but would be good to start earlier and ride in a club group if we can? Can we?

Comment by Rebecca Goodwin on February 15, 2017 at 15:02: Then we can all celebrate at the pub afterwards!

Comment by Rob Weinert-Aplin on February 15, 2017 at 14:45: I think I'm also a ~9:30 start. Was to avoid any icy roads but the forecast is looking good so maybe an earlier start would be good!
