So for all the East Londoners, we meet here on Sat night, stock up on Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese Beigels, Chocolate Fudge Cake and a cuppa Tea, before setting off on this route:

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?saddr=Brick+Ln,+Tower+Hamlets,+London+E1&geoc ode=&daddr=kew+bridge&f=d&hl=en&sll=51.522523,-0.071754&sspn=0.01498,0.031199&ie=UTF8&z=12&om=1

Or something like that. Any other suggested routes are welcome.

As the ride is starting at 12, we still cool for 10? Or maybe 10.30? No idea how long it's gonna take us but I'm guessing it's not going to be 2 hrs!

Dicki...I might come up from Balham if you're Tooting way? Have to see what the boss lady has planned first of course.

Maybe not two hours but perhaps we'd have time for a swift half/sit and eat our food when we got to the start point?

I cycle Hackney to South Ken which is 9 miles and takes 45 mins (gentle pace)so this should only be about an hour tops!

Good work photoben for starting the feeder

I'm planning on 1.5 hours from Cutty Sark to Kew, and looking to get there for around 11. Weather looks like it could be good; so I'm just going to sit on the green and chill till the off.

If your feeder doesn't nick all my bus passengers, I should have some company. ;-)

Pint! Great idea. Sorry to "stomp" on your parade stompy (can't believe I just typed that) but the lure of £1.40 Smoked Salmon And Cream Cheese is just to tempting for some.....they might even have cress:

Not trying to be nosey or owt, but do you have a spare £400 lying around? Cause then you could buy a London Langster and sing the national anthem whilst riding over Tower Bridge. *brings a tear to my patriotic eye*

There is roughly 40 of us doing this ride so far.... If we all chipped in a tenner each we could buy the london Langster use it like the yellow jersy and who ever finishes first on each bridge gets to ride it till someone else ins another...whoever wins the most bridges gets the Beaut at the end!!! Ha ha ha
