Cobblemonster '23

What a glorious day!! I picked up the ride from Waterloo Bridge, left ride at the Dog and Bell needing to return home, pink arrows old and new were well placed. @OneLessCardigan @Skülly @ian(conker) lovely to see you. Was my first bike ride of 2023. As always big thanks to Dave and everyone involved in organising this event

Brixton Cycle Club out in great numbers too.

Thanks Al. Is La Vie Claire on here?

Dave May is such a dude. Sat on the kerb with a pint, correct procedure.

nice to see you too. long time eh? send my regards to @Bernie & what about guinness?

Thanks to @notoriousBMT, the BCC volunteers and BC shop team for a great spring day out.

Sorry I missed so many forum members, next time then eh? :)

Big Thanks to the organisers. Always like this ride and the organisation was faultless. Once a year on the Cobbles is enough though and Canonbie never gets easier

The tweaks to the route worked really well and the Finish at Herne Hill really finishes it nicely.

Hi folks. Does anyone know if this will happen in 2024? It's one of the absolute highlights of the spring.

^^ do hope so. Last year it was all a bit tainted for me when I got to Canonbie & had my first AF attack, leaving me panting my way, on foot, up all of the hills

oh no i didn't know about that Ian. i hope you've found a successful treatment or know how to mitigate the risk

Sure you will have too but received my notification email today. Time to start getting excited.

Not sure if we're re-using this thread to save money cos times are hard but I'm in for this one

But also signed up regardless

It's usually about 35 miles in total, but they may tweak it from previous editions.

Usually head north of the river for cobbles, before heading south and taking on a number of testing hills.

Here's a gpx of the 2022 edition:

grand thanks, shorter than I expected but still looks like it'll be fun!

Yep, sorry for the delay on sending these out, habitually disorganised. On holiday this week so doing some cobblemin today. The route will be a little bit different this year. The tweaks come in based on the roadworks etc that we encounter during recces and then when we put the signs up the day before. I have recce'd as far as The Dog & Bell so far, will likely do the rest one day after work next week or the week after if I can.

Edit: Event for 2024 here - https://www.lfgss.com/events/9485/

I have recce'd as far as The Dog & Bell so far

No more recceing needed, then. :)

I can't for the life of me work out why you stopped there.
