Winter Training in RP, Saturdays

Damn.. good to see someone getting in the miles..

clive's a mile munching machine

Can everyone declare their gearing, please? Chainring/cog & GI.

46/16 - 76 inches (or 75.9 for the pedants)

we'll club together to get will a 44tooth chainring

No need mate. I'll just get myself a Jan Ullrich race face.

Was frustrated not to come this saturday but had a fencing competition today so did not want to knacker my legs. Not cycling paid off and got a good result which should promote me to inside the top 30 in the UK.

I do intend to come out to play next weekend.

I'll be there on Saturday 15 Nov at 9:30.

Gents, I'm not around this weekend, or next.
ride hard and fast

I should be there too. So it'll be me+clive at a minimum.

I'll be there, rain or shine, hangover or not.

Sorry lads, I'm not going to make this week. I have to work:(. I'll be there the week after.

will be at the cafe 9300

you may see me in the park. it wont be until 10.30-11.00 though

Morning. Something's come up for today so I'm gonna be a no show - sorry. Hope its a reasonable turn out still, looks a pretty decent day for it.

Three of us today. Me, Clive & Klaus (or is it Claus?).

Had a good ride all the same; I did the inner loop in 8:51 and managed to out-drag some dude on a full TT bike on the flat into the wind - which was an added bonus.

Claus did 8:47 and so when we get the Famous JC and Hilly Jim Billy out there should be some competition.

Did a gentle 82 miles in all today. Road on from the Park with a couple of mates who were riding with gears. Much faster, therefore, than last week when I rode alone and it feels like it now.

Had a good time, but now the cold really kicked in now. Ride on a mild November morning in good company that is proper winter training. Off for a dinner tonight so no Bridges for me.

Ah ha, this is happening now

Would it be OK to turn up one saturday?
Proberly not for a couple of weeks though,
got another ride on saturday mornings but people might not turn up some weeks with the wether 'n' shiz

Morning. I'm still really, really pissed! So I'm gonna be a no show - sorry. Hope its a reasonable turn out still, looks a pretty decent day for a drink.

Fixed.

Sounds like it was a good one. I was so hungover I'm amazed that I made it to work on time. I know Claus would be gunning for that TT.

Next week should be a good one.

We all froze our bollix off waiting this morning. Well, more like we lost the benefit of the warm up ride from home. Next week, it was suggested that we leave for a anti clockwise warm up lap at 9:30. If you arrive later ride clockwise (left out of the cafe) and meet us or wait at the cafe for us to return around 9:55 or 10:00.

Good idea. And we can say hello to the Dynamo(by hello I mean chase them down and laugh at them)!

Good work guys, the 9.30 warm up lap sounds sensible too. I won't be out next week either cos I'll be in Ghent. After that though, I'll be along regular, like.

Who's going tomorrow morning? I fitted drops and bar tape to my fixie [sic] last night and everything...

Its gonna be windy.

I should be there, and I think clive's missus kicks him out of the house on a Saturday morning, so he should be there. Hopefully Claus & JimBilly also. We should be going for the 09:30 anti-clock warm up loop as clive described above.

Gonna be windy and cold, but that just gives us more chances to HTFU.
