Hello everyone and in particular London-based PdC-ers.

I'm currently between jobs so have been taking the opportunity to go on midweek rides. Today - as I pootled up Box Hill for the first time this year - I thought I should really go out and recon the full route of the Olympics road race that will climb it 9 times and decide one of the first gold medals of the games. And then I thought some other members of a well-known internet-based cycling café mights be interested too.

I reckon we'd meet on the Mall and do a maximum of two laps of the Box Hill circuit making for a total distance of about 140km. Pace would be nice and social and there'd definitely be a cake stop at Box Hill and maybe a pub lunch on the way home.

So... would anyone else be interested?

If so which of the following dates would work?

• Monday 7 May (Mayday bank holiday)
• 2-5 June (Diamond Jubilee weekend)
• Sunday 13 June
