I live in Harefield which is a good spitting distance from Uxbridge (with the wind behind me I have to say..)
Harefield for those who don't know is the place the world passed by- I mean where would you go to get a haircut and the guy in the chair IS Farmer Giles on about his tractors!
I'm not sure if you know but roadies turn up at Shane's Nursery on Sat/Sun @ 9.30 and trundle out on club runs- Sat is to Boutler's Lock via a circuitous route, optional Winter Hill @ Cookham and do-able on fixed although Harvest Hill is steep and there's a dead stop at the bottom.
Other rides at 10.00am on Tuesdays and Thursdays but more for geared bikes, or expert fixed riders- same for Sundays too.
Yes I do still ride fixed - learned Time Trialling many years ago on that, still ride the Track- Welwyn/Manchester/Newport/Calshot, occasionally HH. Ride road & TT bikes and MTB's.
Don't ask how many bikes I have- ever!!! Death is swift...
