Sun Sep 28th - Down South, Cambersands

Bollocks, really fancy this but I'm in Sicily that weekend. Oh well you can't have it all.

I hope to be on a geared bike for this...

[quote=RPM;269638] would have been lovely on gears.[quote]

I'm on gears too

Where we meeting and what time?

It is a secret.

Hint: will probably be Hyde Park corner, 8 or 9 in the morning to give us time to relax at the other end.

i did the cambridge ride on that

and i will be doing this ride on that#

dont know how the rolling hills compare though

Count me and my pal in (he doesn't do forums because he can't read)

I've amended the map for the current start point.

Any more amendments, MA3K??

No that route is ace, will add it to the first post.
Thanks Sam.

Providing I don't disgrace myself on the Docklands ride by wiping out and taking a fellow forumenger down with me/doing something equally dickish, I'd quite like to do this. I don't have many miles under me belt though so can anyone shed a little light as to whether 44x16 is sensible gearing for this ride? Also...is anyone else (apart from the above) planning on bringing their geared bikes? If veteran forumengers are bringing geared bikes it's making me think that me doing this fixed is just plain ridiculous.

Yoinks!

wools, you should be fine on that gear.

We will go at a decent pace with some tearing of the front every now and again, but not racing and we always regroup soon enough. You are not going to be left behind in the middle of the countryside. As to whether you can physically do the distance, that is in your own mind. The last Dunwich was completed in decent times by 15 year old girls on mountain bikes and that was twice as far.
You just have to keep pedalling.

Thanks for this I was a bit scared.

I know I was talking to someone about doing this but it's the London Tattoo Con that weekend.
I'm definitely out.

Just got the all clear from my brother who's over from Stokholm that weekend. I'll be going single speed on 44/16.

This will be my first ride of any distance since I was a nipper. Here goes nothin'

Might have to blow out of this. My old patella tendonitis has flared up again.

Yes, I could HTFU, but after 5 hours of my patella rubbing diagonally across my femur instead of horizontially it starts to get a bit much.

MA3K, I can still sort the route sheet either way if you like, just let me know.

Any help would be appreciated, but if you are in pain don't bother with messing about with route sheets etc. Just get better and we will see you on the next ride if it comes to that.
Thanks.

Jim Jams and I are looking at organising a "Let's see how we handle hills" ride over Chrystal Palace on Monday after work finishing at South Drinks in Clapham.

Keep 'em peeled for the new thread.

North Drinks on Tuesdays will give you some hill training too.

I'm working in the New Forest all week renowned for it's hills. At least I can put a few miles in before the weekend. It's on. I might have even converted back to gears. How very dare I.

moi, as long as I get back from oop north in time.

who me dear, gears dear, no dear.

I haven't built my bike yet, and my missus is getting a bit pissed off at me going off to hang with people on this forum. Think I'm a fail for this. :[ I'm becoming a ride flake.
