Thursday is looking like the best of the weather for the next few days so I'd like to rack up some more km's. Does anyone fancy a ride out to Wycombe Lido? Potentially 75km each way so probably a 7.30 start, and a reasonably speedy swim in the middle.

Details:

Meeting point: 7.30 at Brockwell Lido (or 8am at Roehampton cafe in Richmond Park).

Quick pit stop (51km) in Windsor (eta 10am)

Wycombe lido at 77km (11.30, leaving at 12.30)

Taking the same route back so options to get the train from Windsor, Staines, Twickenham, Richmond etc if we run out of daylight, but if we leave at 12.30 hopefully we can get back by 4pm.

Ride classification: Explorer 150km, estimated speed 22km/hr, elevation ~800m

What do you need to bring?

  • Bike in good working order (please pump up tyres and check your brakes/gears/chains are in good condition).
  • Spare inner tubes, bike pump and tyre levers
  • Bike locks and lights
  • Appropriate clothing and nutrition for the weather and ride speed
  • Swim gear (the pool is heated so no neoprene needed)
  • Money for swim entry (£6) and cafe

Please post below if you want to join and pm me your mobile number if I don't already have it.

I’d love too but I’m having Christmas get together then. Shame about the weather tomorrow - apparently some sleet on its way. Anyway, have fun and enjoy the lido!

I have visitors so can't do 28th, otherwise would love to. Was hoping to ride tomorrow morning but sleet and 40mph gusts forecast is putting me off. Hampton Lido tour was excellent so keen to join another one!

Totally missed this! Hope you have an awesome time x
