Boxing Day CX ride

Around my fourth or fifth Affligem last night, Stuart and I determined that this might be a good idea. My plan was to do the ride that launched Cyclocross Rider: http://www.cyclocrossrider.com/riding/kentish-ronde

I missed it the first time, but I have the gpx and it's been on my to do list ever since. It's only 40 km, and it starts and finishes at Cyclopark. That's equally accessible for north and south Londoners, because, hey, can't we all just get along?

So who's game?

I'm game even without the Affligem. Meet at a civilised hour?

It's not a super long ride, so I was thinking 9:00 start.

Could do 9 but by civilised I meant at least 10

Funny, I was going to say 10:00. Must have been a slip of the keyboard. 10:00. Yes. That one.

How do we get to cyclopark by 10? Will I have to stay sober enough to drive? It is xmas you know.

There's a quick train from St. Pancras to Ebbsfleet International. Dead easy.

On Boxing Day? Really?

I'm flex on start time.

Surely plenty of trains. Isn't Boxing Day what we now call Black Friday?

Just checked National Rail. Trains from St. Pancras to Ebbsfleet International at 9:10 and 9:40 on Boxing Day. No excuses, now.

Hmmm. Don't think I'll get away with Boxing Day but I'll try. Might have to save my house points for Snetterton on 28th.

as its social i might have to get the empella out for its maiden run - my desire to race cross was suffled by the emergence of the winter track league, so i'm a maybe for this
