LFGSS Summer Training Conversation thread

Geared

Thank you for organising everything so far, Henry. I wish I could have attended more rides.

If anyone's interested in joining, I'll be doing a flat (for Kent) 130-150k ride from Blackheath out towards Staplehurst on Sunday morning.

The first and last 40k are lumpy, with the rest flat and good for group riding.

It'll be an 8am start and will definitely feature a cafe stop.

@TooTallTim, @amey, @jim1985, @HoKe, @FixedCheese, @Hovis, @eyebrows, @6pt etc

If anyone's keen, stick your name on the list.

Pottering about in the Dorset rain this weekend. Have a good one!

Lovely! You too.

hmm.... maybe. I'll decide tonight.
If you can keep it to 130k I'd be more keen- because effort (and my new rule of unless I'm touring I have no business being on a bike for more than 5hrs.)

Happy to keep it to 130.

Game!

Where to meet up @TTM

I'd normally ride out from Blackheath, through Chiselhurst, Saint Mary Cray and on to Shoreham. I can post the route up and people can work out where they'd like to join.

Here it is (let me know if you can't see it)

Sorry I meant to say where is the start point? Blackhealth station or have you got a specific place in mind?

I see. Hither Green station is a good meeting point for me.

Sounds great but got a ride planned on Sat and not sure I can duck out on Sunday too. If that changes I'll let you know mate

I think you may be super local to me.

Crosses fingers.

It'd be good to see you fella.

I'm just a couple of mins from Hither Green. I'm surprised I've not spotted you on the lanes before. Obviously you're too zippy.

I think I'd have to be out in the lanes for that to happen ;) I'm about 5 mins south of the station en velo.

Cool see you at 8 then! =)

Tres Bon!

I'm probably coming. Don't wait for me for more than 4 1/2 minutes, though.
Its so damn far to the start.

@branwen @DeathDrive game?

Thanks for the heads up dude. Not sure what I'm doing this weekend, wanted to do a longer one but preferably with lots of lumps. Will let you know.

To all esle... Be warned: this is tom's typical weekend jaunt, so he'll know all the roads and I guess ride it even more insanely fast than his normal pace!

Yes.
Yes.
Yes.

Just looked and weather is a bit shithouse on sunday so may be out on Saturday instead.

Yes, i'm a wuss

I KNEW IT!!!

All the greats say 'gentle pace'...

@TTM 'gentle' = me at full sprint
