Is it 0900 at Long Eaton Post Office for the fast group? Still the same old route... up the cobbled street through Ashbourne and over Fenny Bentley, back down the Via Gellia. A Classic if i'm not mistaken... Very Happy Question

Same route Matt, but I think its 9:30, would double check this though. If everyone else goes off at 9:00, will be long day for me Laughing

For foreigners like me (Beeston), where is the Old Post Office? Is it something else now? I'm in terrible shape so unless there's a pie eaters group I suspect I won't last very long at all Sad

COming from Beeston, it's not the first Asda island the 2nd island with the green in the middle. Then as the road goes round to the right it is on the right after the crossing. Now called Century 21 estate agents.

If anyone sees Reg on it, tell him Ive got his wedding cake for him, he should have took it on the night, but he was too busy body popping with 9 year olds telling them stories about going through and off in heavy rain

Thanks guys. Thanks also to Legro for the invite. I think I'm more likely to make the 3 miles into Long Eaton than the 136 miles to Little Horkesley - particularly if I'm to do the whole route in 42*18 or whatever we're supposed to be doing this week. Unfortunately for me that's meant the repetition and duration of looking at the bike but the season's long... Sad see some of you on Sunday.
