5th Floor Beef getting escalated?

@youramericanlover representing the forum skinsuit with style this morning around the park. Thanks for the laps, certainly woke me up!

You as well! I was nearing the end of my chopping so wasn't much use to you. Would have liked to stick around longer but I was all done attempting Hovis Pace.

Definitely spotted two skinsuits this morning so presume it was you two. Looking sharp.
Cold no? Just bought a long sleeve jersey for the cooling temps but that was a step too far for it.

I was ok with arm warmers and no base-layer. I run warmish though, and I was working fairly hard so I found it spot on. Hovis had leg-warmers too. I would have overheated massively (although my knees certainly would have appreciated the gesture).

Where exactly do you guys meet for this? Still Thursday?

I wore a ls merino base layer and a leg warmers and it was perfect. Would have frozen in dan's get up.

It's the southeast corner. It's a bit disorganised atm I think - I've mostly stopped as my work hours changed. Worth subscribing to the thread I guess to see if people are going to meet up. I mean if you show up before the gates open there are plenty of riders to wheel up with. Quite a few choppers tho so pick your wheels carefully.

I am one of those choppers btw.

Okay fair enough, rock up early and see whats happening. What time do road gates open?

And chopper..Woefully slow bike?

Gates open at 7am. Lots of people start at 6am I think to get in a traffic-free Hour of Power.

A chopper is a stage-two nodder.
Ex. 1:
"CS7 was full of fluro-vested nodders today. As it is every day."
Ex. 2:
"Did you see that chopper in RCC kit half-wheeling behind Hackney CC all the way around Regents this morning? What an idiot."

Busy polis in the park today. I saw 3 vehicles pulled over and a cyclist who diverted round a red by mounting the pavement.

Morning laps are back on!! Still cold AF though!

Brompton laps?

Still waiting for the Cycle to work scheme, so the l96 for now 😉

I’m there (pretty much) every Tuesday and Thursday.
Tuesdays geared, Thursday is supposed to be fixed.
Start at 05:40, finish by 07:00.
Today was full of the flu.

I’ll be up for some morning laps from next week.

Maybe me too, if I come summon the courage to join the TTM Eyebrows combination.

You’re probably the fittest one out of any of us!

I've been doing manual labour and inhaling dust for the last month. On the flip side, I had a flat tyre this morning and I got it from zero pressure to perfect using my hand pump with just one "set". Normally my arms are knackered after 50 pumps and getting to full pressure requires several breaks.

Gains.

Ha

04:30 on a Saturday is still the dream time. No red lights. No people. No other riders.

Morning lolz laps tomorrow if anyone is interest (aka on bromptons)

What time?
