I will take a quick ride out to Kent, stopping at 96 Degrees.
Here's the route: http://bikeroutetoaster.com/Course.aspx?course=422711
120km, 1200m of climbing. Experienced riders only please. Back by 2:30pm latest, I'd estimate.
If we run into difficulty (or if enough people moan  ) we could skip the loop around Bough Beech Reservoir, or go up Toys from Brasted and back down the way we came. Plenty of options.

I'll take this ride: http://www.bikeroutetoaster.com/Course.aspx?course=437709
55 miles with quite a bit of climbing, and a stop at Priory Farm. Club run pace ride with the aim of keeping everyone together, and probably back for 1.30pm.

Take your digital calipers with you to ensure that it is you that doesn't get fleeced. |

I'm going to pretend to be in an olympic peloton, by sitting at the back for 250km and letting four guys in blue do all the hard work, so as to mess up EVERYONE's chances. Not that I'm bitter or anything

The ride to Ashtead, the BikeBeans Cafe, is suitable for that but someone had better know the way or downlaod the route onto a Garmin or equivalent.

No one forced them to only have a plan A - what happened was somewhat predictable and they did have riders for plan B 
(wrong channel I know) |
