  • Have been meaning to come since last year but scheduling never quite worked out! Am free this Saturday so I am very keen, except for the fact that I haven't been on the bike for a month and wasn't even a whippet to begin with, so am slightly hesitant for fear of holding everyone back while I grind up them hills.

  • i am out for this one, rush hour at work.
    that's a shame because i need those miles like bad like

  • These are no drop, regroup at the top of hills kind of rides. So don't hesitate and come join us!

  • I’m fat and slow and haven’t ridden properly in ages - everyone very friendly and will not drop you. Come along! Will be fun.

  • 21 skid salute for a missing comrade 🫡

  • Whoop - I'm in then.

  • Paging @ZenithE @ojwithbits - in for Saturday, yeah?

  • sorry I missed the last one :(
    life got a bit on top this October
    Sadly working this Saturday as im dumb and thought this was next weekend … poor form from me on the bike front lately, must improve.

  • It's looking good!

  • Mild weather, wild times! Looks to be a good one, wish I could be there. Good riding all

  • What's the go to fixie for a ride like this?
    Day one? FXE? A dead puppy classic?

  • Overpriced gas pipe frame from a defunct collab with overpriced parts and custom-mounted mudguards.

  • Perfection

  • Annoyingly got stuff on (and my fixie is in bits). Hopefully I will make the next! Happy riding 🪽

  • Same as last time, we'll meet at Elmers End Bakery tomorrow morning for an 08:30 depart ✌🏼

  • Conditions looking ideal, can't wait!

  • Taking a 15k warmup to the start and hoping not to get lost so please wait up if late!

  • Top ride today! Thank you to everyone that made it, always good to see some new (to me at least) faces! Cold, crisp and dry; about as ideal as it gets at this time of year. Rolling route to Kingdom Cafe and then, I think it's fair to say, quite the sting in the tail with Bayley's, Star and the Cudham Road 'bump' to Downe for good measure.

    Looking forward to MDiD '24 already, there's concepts of a plan for the route...

  • Things not to do before a long ride: read the distance in miles as kilometers and bring just enough nutrition for the shorter ride you thought you’d be doing, don’t study the elevation and attack the rolling hills. Felt like I was operating on absolute fumes by the time Star rolled around, thanks @ElGonzo for saving my ass at the end of the ride and I owe you an oat bar! Had to stop for chips for the half an hour ride to get myself home feeling sorry for myself, but 10/10 top ride and was so great to get out into the lanes - thanks Leo and Jay for organizing and leading!
