Surrey 2016 Season Opener

Are people doing this geared or fixed?

Fixed.

Gears are allowed so long as you play nicely.

Yes

Fixed fat bikes

I am a broken fat fucker on a bike

Are we meeting under the big clock ?

We meet by the ticket machines opposite platform 6 as that is the end of the concourse the trains usually leave from.

how busy is the train by the time it gets to surbiton? I could try to board there and save myself the ride out

Usually starts to empty out a bit by the time it gets out that way I think.

do i gamble on space or ride out in 15 mins?

I raised a glass to those of you out there in the lanes. Lovely night for it.

having bumped into @rhowe earlier this inaugural ride ride has been on my mind.

chapeau with a tint of green to those that rolled up to ranmore and hone tonight

that was awesome, frustrated i failed to record the ride home on the garmin

lovely to meet you all this evening, it was hard work

hats off to russell for show of strength, and huge props to dan - what the fuck do they feed young people?

matt - thanks for leading out and the drink at the end

graham and james, it was great to ride back with you, sorry if i was not too chatty - i was just trying to pedal to stay warm

clement - i am sorry for cheating

I've got that Friday feeling and it hurts

I'm surprised your legs haven't fallen off.

That was awesome, especially downing a pint of Guiness to catch the train. Definitely gonna be attending further expeditions.

I'm surprised your legs haven't fallen off.

You and me both

Esher Common was the offroad bit I ended up doing on the way out apparently

Well this was awesome, I missed the night klub runs. Thanks, and see you next time!

Feeling it this morning. Worth it tho. Great company, great ride, if bit chilly on the descents.

Dunno what was in that flap-jack @rhowe but it must be on thew WADA banned substance list, thought we were going to lose you before you "took it".

Good to have you along @Danners, that was some impressive beasting of those hills.

@jonny you were missed dude, tho about half way up Ranmore I did think you'd made the right call.

Roll on Roydon...

Glad this went well. Looking forward to the next one.

Cheers for the tow back into town DJ. I was home just in time to pick up the baby feeding duties and finally got to bed at 4am - thank fuck it's Friday!

See y'all in two weeks (when I'm expecting a monster peloton)..

I do owe you a coffee or two, so at some point stop by New Malden.

Am guessing for someone as tiny as you my bulk created a rather large slipstream to hide in!

I made up for lost time and rode this with Tim yesterday :) But on gears :( But I rode out :) But I found it really hard :(

Yeah, those roads are definitely tougher than they were last year.
