Comment by Deborah Lloyd on February 19, 2017 at 7:36: Anne and I failed to get a place but we are turning up anyway to ride. Should be there in about 1 hour. Driving and starting around Brasted Lane.

Comment by Elly on February 18, 2017 at 21:26: Sadly I won't be able to join you but have a great ride everyone! Looks like it'll be a great day for it.

Comment by Elly on February 17, 2017 at 22:13: I've gone and double booked myself on Sunday so although I have a place may not be able to join you any more :-( But if I can come along I've got a 9.28 start so will join the 8am crew from Cadence!

Comment by Russell Speechley on February 17, 2017 at 16:38: Just to repeat on both forum posts...

Another group leaving Cadence at 8am to arrive for the later start time.

Comment by Jake Pollard on February 17, 2017 at 15:33: If anyone else if affected: my payment hadn't gone through for some reason, they've confirmed it's all fine now but just have to print the email confirmation and bring it to the start.

Comment by Charles Barclay on February 17, 2017 at 15:09: Also make sure you have completed the rider emergency contact details they ask for

Comment by Alex Green on February 17, 2017 at 13:18: Without wanting to intentionally play Mum, I've just noticed the entry confirmation email needs to be printed and shown to someone on the day or no ride. I'm sure they wouldn't be that draconian if you don't have it, but likely to avoid unwanted hassle if you do. I'm sure you all have it in hand..

Comment by Charles Barclay on February 17, 2017 at 12:16: Jake wants a lift so I'll be driving after all. See you at the start.

Comment by Tom Taylor on February 17, 2017 at 12:02: Congrats Becky!

Comment by Charles Barclay on February 17, 2017 at 11:38: Congratulations on becoming an aunt Becky!

Gawd, 7am is early! I don't suppose Cadence serve coffee at that hour...

I might cycle with you lot rather than drive in any case.
