Inspired by some @Cazakstan activity on Strava I was wondering if yous lot* might like some afterworker type action, starting from June when we've got some decently long days.
Was thinking of using the TNRC route database but happy to use other routes, and we go for a set day each week - or alternate between say a Tues and a Thurs etc. Also thinking that we alternate roughly between South/Kent and North/Essex each week. I need some motivation to ride my road bike moar as I keep forgetting how much I actually like doing that.
Won't be super fast as I'm not super fast but would like to cover ~30 miles reasonably swiftly so as not to be in dark village lanes in the pitch black innit and home not too late. Roadie douchebag mode and fixed/SS equally welcomed
NB: am not offering to lead every ride either - thinking it would be nice to take turns and people learn that leading rides is not terrifying, like.
*When I say "yous lot" I'm am thinking of those who identify as female/mostly use this part of the forum but non-knob males welcome too if they appreciate they will be playing/riding by our rules (aware that makes me sound like a knob now!)
So it's been a bit of an organisational shambles/kitten herding affair so far but I possibly should have thought this through a bit better. Sorry ladeez
But drum roll I've got a bit of a better idea about people's availability/needs/blah blah blah here's a sort of vague plan. Please come, if you can be arsed with the faffing about. Selling it, ain't I? ; )
Thurs 11th June: Lee Valley Road Circuit
Tues 16th June: Eynsford way-isn, leaving Catford at 7pm
**Sat 27th: TNRC Ingatestone route: leaving morning, back by lunchtime type pace, people can ride to/from start if they want, innit
