ThNRC 2018, the Arsène Wenger Retirement Tour (additional dates soon to be announced)

Season ender is good inspiration to finally gear down to '66.

Also we need end of season drinks! Can we go central / North maybe to a pub where I can hear people talk? I can't even remember where we went last year (this year?) Anyway, I have a memory of going way out West and which seemed to be a ballache for everybody (except for normal Westies) so somewhere closer would be good?

We’ve had the end of season dinner at West because it coincided with their birthday (it’s also nice to meet westerners and it’s a nice place, and the ride back is fun). We can also think about another venue!

Wrestlers?

Yeah, and why not have it on a Tuesday whilst we’re at it :P

You read my mind.

No objections from me (although I am obviously slightly biased)..

Anyone else fancy some South London hills tonight?

Looks fun, but I can't this evening!

I too also have tings on. Enjoy tho! Tell Rob I say hi.

Are you thinking fixed?

Nothing serious about any of the hills other than Canonbie, and I think this route takes in the easy side.

Yup! It's either that or the touring bike which doesn't have working brakes atm. Shrug...

Tempted. Not sure if I can get a late stage pass and commuted in relatively casual clothes, but I did bring 20 whole gears with me......lets see how we go.

Welcome to drop a bag round mine to collect post ride and borrow a jersey or something if you get a pass.

Thanks, but looks like I'm out. Shame as it's lovely out. I'll take the long way home instead but those rides look good for the darker months. Less late and less far if very upy downy. Not sure I fancy 12 spinny descents fixed....let me know how your knees get on!

Recommended! That was really good. And in the pub much earlier than TNRC

Anyone up for an off week tomorrow? Feels a shame to be missing out on the good weather.

I’ll be in Paris so unfortunately I’m a no.

Alright for some, enjoy!

If anyone doesn't fancy committing to a full ride I could definitely be talked into some south or north London hills followed by a pub if people haven't had enough of that with the new Tuesday night session?

Hmm.. weather is looking a bit dubious tomorrow, no?

Hmmmm. Preempted tomorrow's weather with yesterday's hills. Have used up my cycling evening for the week with that one I'm afraid...

@Scrabble hills were great! All fine fixed and knees feel grand.

even more impressive is that @Ruserius seems to have ridden the whole route with himself for company!

One day I will force you all to do the North London equivalent..

Yeah I checked and it does now look dubious for tomorrow night.

Hampstead Himalayas route looks interesting, maybe not the full thing for a Thursday night but I could be talked into doing a portion of that I think.

I was besides myself with the joy of hills
