Here a suggestion. How about meeting up at the Ace café, nr North Circular, on Sunday 29 December at 12 noon? Only for those whose bikes are not wrapped in cotton wool for the winter, obviously. And provided it's not snowing.
Can't make it I'm afraid, I'll be hill walking in Northumberland? Might be up for a repeat in 2014 though.
The question is can I be arsed?? but I havent been out on the bike for a while and I am tempted as I know Pete will be buying the coffee. So do I ride down or take the Aston???????????
I will be there from about 11.30. That should give it time to warm up just a bit. Travelling over from SE London
