Map
This has become a bit of a tradition for some of us and it's something I look forward to each year. For those who are new and know nothing about this event we cycle over to Aldingbourne for Christmas lunch, which is served to us by some of the clients there. Two courses for £18.95 plus coffee/tea and mince pies. We stop off at Goodwood motor circuit for a quick cuppa and arrive at Aldingbourne around 12.
Some people like to bring along their other halves, which is nice for them to meet your cycling buddies and for us to meet them too.

I need to know who wants to go, your choice from the menu and also £5 non-returnable deposit by the 5th of November. I need the remaining £13.95 by November 30th and again, after this date that too will be non-refundable. You can always pay me online. Email me if you want my bank details. You can pay me the full amount now if you so wish and if you need to cancel I shall refund you the remaining £13.95 if it's after 5th November or all of it if it's before. I think I'm making this more confusing. Any queries, email me.
We shall start the ride from Westbourne Square sharply at 9.30 to give us time to be at Goodwood for elevenses (or thereabouts) and Aldingbourne for 12. Of course, you may come by car or make your own way to Aldingbourne which is fine but please let me know the day before so we're not all waiting around in Westbourne Square for you.
