ThNRC 2016 - Thursday Night Ride Club

Same here. Also, seeing as it's quite mild these evenings, anybody interested in doing an early one?

Not this week but would be so happy for an early start to the season!

I'm keen to get involved this year. Live in Kingston so Surrey rulez for me.

The more the merrier. We waffle away in this thread then put rides up as events. Official start is last week before the clocks go forward (or is it back?)

It's forward.

Spring forward, (ATTACK!), fall back.

Yep, been keeping an eye out. Imagine the surrey ride has some decent hills. Need to work out suitable GI as most of my fixed riding is pretty flat. 48*18 or 19 gives me 70.6 or 66.9. Thinking the latter may be more appropriate for this type of escapade.

Sounds about right to me. 66 would be nice in Surrey although you'll be earning those descents. Come later in the season I would recommend upwards of 80gi for Roydon and Ingatestone.

Haha just kidding only @rhowe does this

44x15 the gear of the bonk

We waffle away in this thread

Needs a 2017 thread.

Needs a 2017 thread.

Was considering just changing the title of this thread.

I quite like annualised threads for this sort of thing, as they make it easier to find old stuff.

We'll be two this year :D

Anyone else getting excited for this? I am.

So many unanswered questions! Will @Rod_Munch bring his Mason? Will he ride out? What happened to the woman in Matt's ear? Does the 5 Hills really suck this early in the year? Will you all forgive me for missing the second ride? It will probably be Roydon. I love Roydon. I also liked how cold it was last year when we did it the first time, @Howard was right on the edge of "happy".

I think it was the second time you did it when I came along last year. It was the ride when Scobel got the mega-bonk.

But yeah - I am excited for this. Another year older and slower.

Me Too, I am due to join bad dad club on April 14th, so not sure how many of these I will make.

I hope to make it to Roydon on 30th of March.

I am extremly excité too.

Dunno, dunno, dunno, probably, unlikely..

Currently my SS is looking like the hot favourite for fitting a Hamax to - and I've got something weird wrong with my hip since that xmas smash that makes climbing a PITA (literally) - so I may be 'bringing the beers' a lot this year. For shame..

bad dad club

we should make Chingford the Hamax ride..

I could also be tempted to bring the beers but that's only because I am finally getting my new bike very soon, after much waiting. Decisions, decisions.

I can stick a Hamax on for this!

Ooo what are you going for @cgg?

Basically, an audax bike. So steel, relaxed geometry, big tyres and discs. Custom built by Stayer (http://www.stayercycles.com) 😇

Due to the unprecedented levels of excite/excitement/excité i have gone and dun it...

Brand new for 2017
