What sort of time would you be at the Ace?
Whereabouts are you planning to overnight, if you've not yet arranged anything there's a Travelodge (Park Royal) not half a mile from Ace and only £34 a room currently?

Well I'm not sure about being able to join up in the daytime for the ride, but would certainly be good to get a few of the "London possee" to join you in the evening.
I'm sure you'll be shocked at the London prices but food at the Ace is pretty good, so I'll be there for a Chilli, Chips & Cheese supper.

I'm fairly local and may be able to pop along. Here's a few idea's - I did it on a Sunday morning, almost the same route as you are starting off on but with less traffic! We also ended up at the Ace cafe! I posted this up on the BUSA site so here's a link.

Oh yeah, and if you go to a pie & mash shop, be sure to try a portion of stewed eels. Yum yum. A true delicacy.
