Fish, chips and lots of bikes by the sea this Easter Monday. Any takers? I'll be off all day this time around :)

what's the typical route? I'm on the South circular near Dulwich so possibly wouldn't make sense to ride all the way West only to ride east again?

Just reviving this thread, meant to be a scorcher of a day, probably won't do the run as such myself but will be down on the seafront handing out cards in the afternoon (and for an ice cream or two..)
Typical route is N Circular-A127

I'm in Greenwich, so heading East sounds good to me.

We're meeting at the Blackheath Tea hut at noon today, and then heading off to Southend.

Pomp1, look out for us on the seafront, where are you going to be?

Superbe little rideout Stu! That last little gauntlet down the b184 was a blast ;-)

Thanks a mill for the cohibas. Much appreciated!

Also great to catch up with Max in Southend-on-Sea and Gennaro in Bishop Stortfort.

In fact good to see all of you guys today. A Monday a thousand times better spend than the usual ''start of the week office inprisonment'' LOL
