Good-o. Happy to still go with your original suggestion re timings and speed?

Lets say an easy 20kph moving avg, 1-1.5 hours of stops. 8am start from Dunwich (I know, early, but) gets us to London for around 6.30-7pm, away again 8.30 - 9, back for early breakfast.
Justin and other sensible one-wayers,
Richard and I are proposing refuelling on arrival in London at a pub in Bethnal Green, about 1.5 miles south of the start:
The Old George
Their site says they're bike friendly, they have a decent sized beer garden and a choice of full-on meals or bar food.
I've made reservations to eat 7pm, warned them we're filthy cyclists, and I'll call back to amend numbers depending on response here.

Your timing will be almost perfect then... Whereas Dickie I could be +/- who knows what on our ETA. If you're there first could you hold the table?
We can text you from Moreton. I can look up how long that leg took on stage 3 and maybe add 50% as we'll be taking it very easy! Plus this time I doubt I'll get motor paced half way to Epping

Mate offered me a 'place' last night. A lift in his car from home in Oxfordshire to the start point, then a pick-up at Dunwich Sunday am. and straight back home to my front door.
That's my sort of adventure.
You brstard, I did it last year from Swindon , ride was ok, it was getting to the start and finish which was a complete pita using trains and bussesThat's my sort of adventure.

You've spotted the Sat am headwind then + warning for flash storms 
I'll be the windswept looking shaw tarse in a very wet PH jersey then I'm assuming it's convective rather than frontal rain they're worried about? So sudden and torrential but short lived. Hmm. Would you recommend rain cape or gilet (until we get to the nearest pub)?

Sure, but have you a driveway/porch you could leave it out Fri night, I'll pick it up EARLY Sat AM on the way up. Got plenty space so as big a bag as you like.
I'm quite a way off your route up in Mayfield, there is a spot in Uckfield I could use to leave one which is not too far off track? Or shall I just come down with it (no sweat to do so)Gassing Station | Pedal Powered | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
