Attack of the 'spoons

Star wars day innit? Bunch of climbs and descents, some riding around, then the hills again. 12 parsecs pace.
Guaranteed wretched hive of scum and villainy at the end ('spoons).
Weather says clear skies, middling easterly breeze, low of 6. That's no full moon, but it is waxing gibbous (🌔) so nice and bright.

I fully intend to come up with a really good excuse to duck out of this at the last minute.

Christ I wish I would be in IKEA.

Got a coursework deadline that evening and the school strikes, bank holidays and inset days at my kids' schools are making it look pretty close to the wire....

Let the kids do their own coursework.

They’ll probably get a better grade than you anyways.

True dat

Anyone else up for this? @Ruserius? @seanile? @Rod_Munch? Might even not be too wet

Yes, looking likely. Gonna bring Nick again, he's promised not to walk if I ride with him up the hills.

Sadly I'm pretty certain that some family logistics are going to block this for me. Next time..

I can't promise not to walk up the hills

Dare I rotofix a sprocket off my wheel? Both are fucked and neither wants to budge. 48x15 but the bike sounds like it's about to split in half or 48x13 where it just sounds grindy but I will feel like I'm being split in half

So good to have @middleofnowhere back. Extremely pleasant evening. Except for the nutrition fail. Whole lot of sweets before spoons burger = much discomfort.

Good to be back, and what a great evening for it. Got to say I was properly broken by the end, but I made it, and that gives me hope for the future. E4 next? or Welwyn?

Nice photo, was thinking that I had no gps record or photos, and in his instagram world that means I might have well not have done it at all. Thanks for stepping up and taking on @youramericanlover 's official TNRC photographer duties.
